-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- 10-man Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by Liverpool at Anfield Sunday but have a five-point lead the top of the English Premier League . City were forced to play the closing moments a man short after second half substitute Mario Balotelli was shown red for a second bookable offence . It nearly proved costly as Liverpool 's late substitute Andy Carroll saw his header brilliantly saved by City goalkeeper Joe Hart . It preserved his side 's unbeaten start to the EPL season and they have 35 points from 13 games , leaving city rivals and defending champions Manchester United trailing in second spot . Tottenham Hotspur , who won 3-1 at WBA Saturday , are seven points adrift but have played a game less . Wales manager Gary Speed found dead at home Vincent Kompany headed the leaders in front from a David Silva corner in the first half , but Liverpool were soon level as a Charlie Adam shot took a huge deflection off Joleon Lescott for an own-goal that left Hart wrong-footed . Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish was delighted by his team 's performance as they stretched their unbeaten run to 10 games to stay in a challenging sixth spot . `` I do n't think you could have asked for much more in terms of effort and commitment from the players . I think they were fantastic , '' he told Sky Sports . Swansea and Aston Villa played to a goalless draw in Sunday 's other EPL game , both of which were overshadowed by the tragic death of Wales manager Gary Speed . In Germany 's Bundesliga , there was a shock 3-2 defeat for Bayern Munich at Mainz Sunday , a result which leaves the Bavarian giants third in the table with reigning champions Borussia Dortmund on top . A draw for Bayern would have seen them return to the summit but they were always struggling once Austrian midfielder Andreas Ivanschitz put Mainz ahead after 11 minutes . Bayern defender Daniel van Buyten equalized on 56 minutes , but Mainz took a two-goal lead as Marco Caligiuri and defender Niko Bungert scored . Van Buyten then grabbed his second , but Bayern could not salvage a point . In Italy 's Serie A , Luc Castaignos scored a late winner as Inter Milan continued their revival with a 1-0 win at Siena . Following their 2-1 home win over Cagliari last weekend , it lifted Claudio Ranieri 's men to 14 points , but just one win adrift from sixth-placed Roma .
