Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has praised the attacking trio of Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Adam Lallana for their 'scintillating' display in the weekend's win over Manchester City.

Carragher believes that the Reds' display in the 4-1 win was reminiscent of the golden days of Kenny Daglish and Ian Rush.

The Sky Sports pundit said: "For Liverpool supporters in their forties or fifties, the run they went on for the first goal was like Ian Rush running onto the end of a Kenny Dalglish pass - a straight pass to a diagonal run.

"That is what you saw all day.

"It was like the Red Arrows watching Liverpool, they were just running through people all the time.

"They could've scored another two or three goals just from this sort of tactic.

"The front three of Coutinho, Firmino and Adam Lallana were scintillating and they played very narrow.

"The two reasons for that, I think, was to stop Man City - when they were in possession - from playing balls into midfield and force them wide.

"But also when they're that narrow, they can make penetrating runs from there because City centre-backs like to step out to the ball, be aggressive and when they're on the edge of the box, they always hold that line."
