Dirk Kuyt scored a late winner as Liverpool fought back from 2-0 down to beat Manchester City 3-2 in an entertaining clash at the City of Manchester Stadium. The Reds needed two second-half golas from Torres to get back on level terms after a goal from Stephen Ireland and a Javier Garrido free-kick had given City a two-goal cushion at the break.
The home side had full-back Zabaleta sent off for a lunging tackle on Xabi Alonso and were hanging on at the death as Liverpool pushed hard for a late winner - with Kuyt firing home from close range in extra-time to maintain Liverpool's impressive start to the season. It was Kuyt's first league goal of the season. The Dutch international had a golden chance to open the scoring for Liverpool when Alberto Reira - Liverpool's chief attacking threat - pulled the ball back to him, only for the Dutchman to balloon his shot on the spin over the bar from eight yards out.
