Iraola said the match changed significantly after Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch was sent off in the 62nd minute.
“There were two different periods in the game – one before the sending-off and another afterwards,” the Liverpool manager said.
The dismissal left Liverpool facing the final stages with 10 men as Manchester City secured a convincing victory.
