Liverpool defender Jon Flanagan says the manner of victory over Manchester City shows their run for the title is no fluke.
Flanagan believes they have shown they would be worthy champions.
"We've sent out a statement with a great performance and a massive three points," he said.
"City are a great side and we knew they would come on strong in the second half.
"There was a bit of sloppy defending from us for their two goals but we showed our spirit, kept playing and Philippe stuck away a brilliant winner."
