Liverpool players defeated Manchester City at “Anfield” 1:0 in the 11th round of the Premier League. The goal for the victory of the Reds was scored by the Egyptian footballer Mohamed Salah.
In the first half, both teams were equal, the match was at a high pace but without many chances. The Reds threatened once through Jota in the 21st minute, but Ederson was safe, while on the other side, Haaland headed in a header in the 40th minute after an assist from De Bruyne, but Allison caught the ball.
It started to “cook” from the 50th minute. Firmino made a great pass to Salah, who had a one-on-one situation, but Ederson managed to save the net. No corner was awarded to Liverpool, and on the other end City scored a goal.
Haaland made a pass through the Liverpool defense, and the net was shaken by Foden. However, the goal was disallowed after video review, as it was determined that Haaland was dragging Fabinho.
It was played in the 64th minute when Alisson saved another Haaland shot.
The net finally shook in the 76th minute. City had a free-kick but De Bruyne’s cross ended up in Alisson’s arms.
The Brazilian thought very well and sent an excellent pass to Salah, who managed to “kick out” Cancelo during the reception and once again go one on one with Ederson. This time he didn’t miss and scored a big 1:0 for the celebration at “Anfield”.
City didn’t give up, Van Dijk intervened brilliantly after Cancel’s cross, and Alisson once again reacted brilliantly. On the other side, the reserve Núñez played Trent Alexander Arnold to put the game on the line, but the fast-footed defender missed the goal frame.
It remained 1:0 until the very end and Liverpool registered a great victory. City currently have 23 points and are in second place, while Liverpool are eighth with 13 points from nine games.
