Liverpool went through ecstasy and agony against Man City - celebrating a fabulous fightback but losing Martin Skrtel with a serious knee injury.
After being two goals down at City, Dirk Kuyt's last-gasp goal sealed their best comeback win since the Champions League Final in Istanbul.
But Skrtel (right) - hurt making a superb tackle to deny Ched Evans with the score at 2-2 - will be out for months with ligament damage.
Seconds after the defender was taken off on a stretcher, Kuyt stabbed in the winner.
City were flying when Stephen Ireland opened the scoring and Javier Garrido doubled the lead just before half-time.
But Fernando Torres pulled a goal back for the visitors and City then had Pablo Zabaleta sent off on 67 minutes for a stupid lunge at Xabi Alonso.
City were fuming when Skrtel got away with a kick to Jo's back which disrupted their plans by forcing him off. Gelson Fernandes came on to replace him.
Liverpool were soon level through Torres's second goal of the game and completed their turnaround when Kuyt struck in injury time.
