Rodri's brilliant intervention salvaged a point for City who drew 2-2 with Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday night.
Liverpool whipped in a late freekick, searching for a winner against their perceived biggest Premier League title rivals.
The ball ended up at the far post, and with City stopper Ederson stranded, Fabinho seemingly had an open goal in which to score in - and thus, win the game for Liverpool.

However, the Brazilian took a touch which just allowed Rodri to sneak in and deny his opposite number.

But the best chance would fall to Fabinho, with Rodri saving the points for City.
The point for Liverpool and City leaves the teams in second and third respectively in the Premier League table, with Chelsea staying top by a point.
The title race is still delicately poised heading into next week's international break.
