MANCHESTER — Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero scored from a near-impossible angle to salvage a 2-2 home draw with Liverpool, but a memorable Steven Gerrard goal still helped boost Premier League leaders Manchester United last night.

The irony of one of Liverpool’s most battling displays of the season helping arch-rivals United end the weekend nine points clear following Saturday’s 1-0 win at Fulham will not be lost on either set of fans, but their draw was fully deserved.
Second-placed champions City took the lead midway through the first half. Former City frontman Daniel Sturridge brought Liverpool level on 29 minutes with a fine finish before Gerrard and Aguero traded equally impressive efforts after the break.
