Liverpool signing Andy Carroll delivered a blow to Manchester city's Champions League ambitions as Liverpool cruised to a 3-0 victory over Roberto Mancini's side at Anfield on monday.
Carroll helped himself his first two goals on a liverpool shirt since joining from newcastla for 35 million in the january transfer window.Dirk Kuyt also netted on a torried night for city, who lost captain Carlos Tevez to a suspected hamstring injury ahead of satursay's FA Cup semi-final with neighbours Manchester United at wembley.
Mancini's expensively assembled side has now failed to win any of their last six premier league away games and remain fourth in the table.
The Italian is under pressure to qualify for next season's Champions league.but City are only three points ahead of fifth-placed Tottenham while their London rivals also have a game in hand as the season reaches a thrilling climax.
It was hard to believe judging by their first half performance,but City had arrived at Anfield boasting more clean sheets than any other team in the premier League.
