Speaking after City’s defeat, Richards suggested that the title battle is now in “Liverpool’s favour”:

“It’s in Liverpool’s favour now. If they come here [the Etihad Stadium] and win the game and do the rest that they need to do in the Premier League. I said before the game ‘don’t be complacent’. It wasn’t just about City,” Richards said (via Manchester Evening News).

“Spurs were excellent, but I think City knew Spurs were going to drop deep and come on the counter-attack and that played into their hands.”

Carragher added: “It’s not just a massive day for the top-four race, but the title race. It’s a tantalising prospect and Liverpool still have to come to the Etihad.”
