Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says his side's 2-2 draw with Manchester City is a "result we have to live with".
Leaders City remain one point clear of Liverpool at the top with seven games remaining after a pulsating game.
It was like a boxing fight. Both arms down for a second and you get a massive knock and you shake a little, said Klopp. Then the next knock is coming from the other team.
City boss Pep Guardiola said his side had missed "an opportunity".
The meeting between the country's two outstanding sides lived up to its pre-match billing and in the end there was nothing to separate them, with the destination of the Premier League title still hanging in the balance.
Liverpool twice fought back to equalise and Klopp added: "It was a great game and a result we have to live with and can live with.
What a game. Wild. The intensity of the game was crazy. It was two heavyweights, chomping at each other.
We had to suffer, they had to suffer.
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson said "it was not the end of the world" that the Reds did not win.
There are positives and negatives," he added. "We are still in the title race.
Manchester City don't drop many points but we have to concentrate on ourselves. If they do slip up, we have to be there. We stay positive and keep going until the end.
