When you are in front in a game like this to have it taken away is disappointing. Bazunu had to help a raking Huseynov strike over his crossbar and pulled off a fine save to turn Gara Garayev's piledriver onto the woodwork with 10 minutes remaining to stave off a tense conclusion. It meant Liverpool lost the ball, and you cannot do that against a team as good as City and expect to keep getting away with it.
