We heard earlier how much Phil Foden loves playing in the false nine role.

Now, we're hardly expecting City to rip up their system for him and sacrifice Erling Haaland.

But would you opt for this as a plan B more often? He obviously loved tonight, especially when he was switched into that central role with space to roam.

And he won man of the match. Is this the way to get the best out of him?

Let's have a look at Florian Wirtz's goal then.

It was a classic Wirtz finish; he used to bang these types of strikes in on repeat at Bayer Leverkusen.

Liverpool were well and truly purring at this stage in the match; they ripped Villarreal apart.

This was definitely Foden's best goal of the night - and probably a contender for the whole of Europe, though we can't claim to have seen every game!

Want to see some of that Rio Ngumoha magic? Well, here you go.

This is the second of his assists tonight as he set up Alexis Mac Allister for Liverpool's third.

This is the run and pass of a man who is brimming with confidence; you can tell that Ngumoha feels untouchable right now.

And Mac Allister... well, he just about kept his shot on target.
