Erling Haaland scored a late penalty as Manchester City came from behind to beat Liverpool 2–1 at Anfield stadium, keeping their Premier League title hopes alive.
Initially in the 70th minute, Dominik Szoboszlai had given Liverpool the lead with a stunning long-range effort, but Bernardo Silva leveled in the 83rd minute after being set up by Haaland.
In stoppage time, Alisson brought down Matheus Nunes inside the area, allowing the Norwegian to coolly convert from the spot and complete the turnaround.

City thought they had added a third through Rayan Cherki after a late counterattack, but the goal was ruled out for a red-card offense by Szoboszlai as the match ended 2-1 to the visitors.
However, City had scored the third goal in the 100th minute by Cherki, but it was later canceled due to the foul done on Haaland by Dominik Szoboszlai, who scooped a red card.
Today’s win keeps Manchester City in the title race with a difference of six points with Arsenal, who is on top of the league.
As the competition is becoming tight, Arsenal is to face Brentford on Thursday. Can Brentford stop their way to the title race? On the other hand, Manchester City is to play Fulham on Wednesday.
In conclusion, we have remained in the second position with 50 points, and Arsenal is in the first position with 56 points.
