Manchester City produced a comeback for the ages at Anfield to remain within touching distance of league leaders Arsenal. In a match that was goalless for 74 minutes, a frantic finale saw world-class goals, a pivotal penalty, and a late red card.
After a tense first half where Alisson Becker made two massive saves to deny Erling Haaland, Liverpool broke the deadlock in the 74th minute. Dominik Szoboszlai stepped up to a free-kick 30 yards out and unleashed a sensational strike that flew past Gianluigi Donnarumma and went in off the post.
City found their equalizer in the 84th minute when Bernardo Silva gambled on a flicked header from Haaland to poke the ball home. The drama reached its peak in stoppage time when Matheus Nunes was clattered by Alisson in the box. Erling Haaland remained ice-cool, smashing the penalty into the corner to give City the lead.
The final seconds were pure chaos: City cleared a corner and Ryan Cherki seemingly scored into an empty net, but the goal was disallowed after VAR spotted Dominik Szoboszlai pulling Haaland back. Szoboszlai was shown a straight red card for the professional foul.
What It Means: Manchester City move to 50 points, trailing Arsenal by six. Liverpool remain in 6th place.
