Man City put pressure on Arsenal after win over Liverpool

Erling Haaland scored a dramatic 93rd-minute penalty as Manchester City pulled off a stunning comeback against Liverpool to keep the Premier League title race alive.

The hard-fought win for Pep Guardiola’s second-placed side cut Arsenal’s lead at the top to six points, with 13 games remaining.

Bernardo Silva’s 84th-minute equaliser had cancelled out Dominik Szoboszlai’s superb free-kick 10 minutes earlier.

Then, in added time, Matheus Nunes was bundled over inside the box by Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson, and referee Craig Pawson pointed to the spot.

Haaland made no mistake, scoring his 21st Premier League goal of the season to send the visiting fans wild.

City goalkeeper Ederson later made a brilliant save to deny Alexis Mac Allister. A minute later, City thought they had scored again after the ball ended up in the net with Alisson out of his goal following a Liverpool attack.

However, the effort was ruled out after a video assistant referee (VAR) check, with Szoboszlai instead sent off deep into added time for fouling Haaland before the ball crossed the line, and a free-kick awarded to City.

The win keeps City’s title hopes alive as they now sit six points behind leaders Arsenal, who recorded a 3-0 victory on Saturday.
