Overview
- Dominik Szoboszlai put Liverpool ahead with a 74th‑minute free kick before Bernardo Silva equalised on 84 minutes and Erling Haaland converted a stoppage‑time penalty for Manchester City.
- City cut Arsenal’s lead to six points with 13 league games to play and completed their first league double over Liverpool since 1937.
- Liverpool have one win in seven league matches and now sit four points behind fifth‑placed Chelsea, with Szoboszlai suspended for Wednesday’s trip to Sunderland as defensive injuries persist.
- Key decisions drew scrutiny as a Rayan Cherki finish into an empty net was ruled out for a prior Szoboszlai foul that brought a red card, and City’s winner came after a penalty was awarded for Alisson’s challenge on Mateus Nunes.
- Bernardo Silva said defeat would have "probably" ended City’s title hopes, and Pep Guardiola insisted the race remains open as his side juggles league, domestic cups and the Champions League.
