Liverpool 1 - Manchester City 1: summary, result and goals of the match

 

Liverpool and Manchester City meet expectations.

From the first second of the game we have seen two combative and winning teams that wanted to tip the result in their favor as soon as possible. Foden on the right wing was wreaking chaos and with crosses he tried to destabilize a pair of central defenders who were getting bigger as time went by. After a clearance by Van Dijk of a ball that went straight to Haaland's head, the corner would arrive that would certify the first goal of the match. De Bruyne's center was finished off at will by Stones, the Englishman had lost Darwin Núñez who remained motionless. However, the Reds would not stop there and with good team plays they would try to equalize the game, without much success in the last minutes of the first half.

The second half would resume with a penalty after five minutes. Nathan Aké committed Ederson with that backwards delivery. Darwin Núñez was the smartest in the class and arrived before the goalkeeper who knocked him down. Maximum penalty and goal from Mac Allister. Furthermore, in that play Ederson would be injured and Ortega would have to come on. A highly contested second half with more chances for Liverpool, especially for Luis Díaz who was not fine in his definition to put his team ahead. Salah entered the field in the 61st minute, but failed to create much danger. With this result, Arsenal remains leader, Liverpool second and Manchester City, third.
