Jurgen Klopp’s men found themselves trailing to a stunning Erling Haaland strike midway through the first half. The prolific Norwegian pounced on a loose ball and unleashed a thunderous effort from the edge of the area, leaving Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker rooted to the spot. The Reds looked lackluster for much of the contest, struggling to create clear-cut chances against a dominant City side. However, with time running out, Liverpool produced a moment of brilliance. In the 89th minute, substitute Fabio Carvalho picked up the ball on the left wing and drove into the City penalty area. He played a clever pass into the path of Mohamed Salah, who took a touch before firing a low shot past Ederson into the far corner. The Anfield faithful erupted in a deafening roar as Liverpool stole a point at the death. The equalizer extended the Reds’ unbeaten run in all competitions to 12 matches and kept them within touching distance of the Premier League leaders Arsenal. For Manchester City, it was a bitter blow as they missed the chance to open up a five-point gap at the top of the table. Pep Guardiola’s team will be disappointed with the way they ceded possession and momentum in the latter stages of the match. The result leaves Liverpool in sixth place, three points behind City and Arsenal. The Reds will now turn their attention to a trip to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, while City face Brighton & Hove Albion at home on Saturday.
