Man City still fighting for Premier League title after Anfield comeback

Manchester City are still fighting for this Premier League title. Seemingly down and out after Dominik Szoboszlai's incredible free-kick, they pulled off a frantic comeback to snatch a 2-1 win and record their first victory in front of an Anfield crowd in 23 years.

Erling Haaland set up the equaliser for Bernardo Silva and then sealed the win from the penalty spot to end his own poor run at the home of the Reds. There was more late drama. Rayan Cherki appeared to score with Alisson committed forward, but VAR ruled the goal out for a foul by Szoboszlai on Haaland and the Hungarian was sent off.

Gianluigi Donnarumma also made an outstanding save to thwart Alexis Mac Allister and keep City in front. The first half was full of attrition, with City producing 10 shots and Haaland twice denied by Alisson. With a quarter of an hour to go it felt like City's title hopes were slipping away, but Bernardo slid in to meet Haaland's knockdown and Matheus Nunes won the penalty after being felled by Alisson.
