We really deserved to win today but Nevertheless Arsenal will suffer in our hand at Etihad for this Liverpool has done to us today’: Man city Star Erling Haaland sends strong premier league message to Arsenal fans ahead of their clash next week
In an exciting matchup at Anfield, Liverpool and Manchester City were unable to score. This set up an exciting finish to the title race and put Arsenal at the top of the table.
City took the lead in the middle of the first half thanks to a well-executed set piece. Kevin De Bruyne’s clever corner found John Stones at the near post, who scored a goal that had been practiced over and over again. On the other hand, Liverpool kept trying to score, and Luis Diaz almost tied the game with a good chance that just missed the goal.
The Reds finally tied the game early in the second half by taking advantage of a defensive mistake by Nathan Ake, whose back pass went out of bounds and was picked off by Darwin Nunez. Because Ederson pushed Nunez, he got a penalty, which Alexis Mac Allister brilliantly converted to make the score even.
Even though Liverpool kept pressing, Diaz missed two clear chances, and City’s substitute keeper, Stefan Ortega, made a key save to keep Nunez from scoring. Late in the game, City’s Jeremy Doku also almost won it by hitting the post from an awkward angle. He then survived a tense VAR review for a charge on Mac Allister in the penalty area.
At the end of the game, neither team was able to break the tie. This allowed Arsenal to take advantage of the tie and move to the top of the table. The closely fought matchup signalled the fierce competition that was to come in the rest of the title race, setting the stage for an exciting final stretch of the season.
