John Stones hooked off the line when his clearance had cannoned off Ederson
He recovered just in time to claw the ball off the line and away from danger
Manchester City went on to win 2-1 and reduce the gap to four points
Liverpool came just 11mm away from maintaining their huge advantage at the top of the Premier League on Thursday night.
When Sadio Mane’s first-half shot bounced off the post it then ricocheted back towards goal after John Stones’ clearance cannoned into Ederson.
But the England defender recovered just in the nick of time to claw the ball off the line and away to safety as Mohamed Salah looked to pounce.

All eyes turned towards the referee Anthony Taylor, who with a shake of the head allowed played to continue, signalling the whole of the ball had not crossed the line.
Replays showed Liverpool were denied a fortuitous opener by the slimmest of margins – just over one centimetre.
Instead of moving 10 points clear, the gap was reduced to four as Manchester City profited from Liverpool’s misfortune with a 2-1 victory at the Etihad Stadium.
Sergio Aguero put the hosts ahead with a left-foot shot into the roof of Alisson’s net before Roberto Firmino finished off a flowing team move to equalise in the second-half.

But as Liverpool thought they had snatched a point to maintain their grip on the title race, City reclaimed their lead through Leroy Sane.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Match officials receive a signal on their watches to indicate whether the whole of the ball has crossed the goal line.
This information is transmitted within one second, which ensures an immediate response from the referee.
The Premier League system, run by Hawk-Eye, uses a network of high-speed video cameras to track a ball’s position.
Fans of rival clubs on social media reacted with amusement.
