Liverpool´s 100% record over the festive period was ruined by Manchester City as Rafael Benitez´s men failed to make their pressure tell at Eastlands in a stalemate.
Despite dominating for long periods, especially during a one-sided second-half, Liverpool could not find a way through.
Joe Hart produced an excellent late stop to deny Dirk Kuyt but City´s real hero was skipper Richard Dunne, who threw himself at everything in his desire to repel Liverpool´s threat.
