The left back and the goalkeeper combined to turn the Reds around and Pep Guardiola’s team was lucky to escape with a point.
Manchester City scored a clever goal straight from the training pitch but then mastered their own fall and ended their top-of-the-table showdown with Liverpool holding on for dear life in Sunday’s 1-1 draw. .
City scored first when Kevin De Bruyne created a clever goal for John Stones, but after going into half-time en route to their first win at Anfield (with fans) since 2003, Pep Guardiola’s side lost their lead just after the break with a sloppy pass from Nathan Ake leading to Ederson knocking down Darwin Nunez. Alexis Mac Allister scored from the penalty spot and from then on it was all one way, with City holding on with all their might.
Backup goalkeeper Stefan Ortega helped keep Liverpool at bay, although Jeremy Doku almost snatched away what would have been a barely deserved victory for City when he hit the post. The Belgian was lucky not to concede a penalty in stoppage time for a high foot on Mac Allister.
The champions will be happier with the point than the Reds given how the match unfolded, but looking at Liverpool’s set lineups and litany of injuries, it looks like City missed a huge opportunity to end their voodoo at Anfield and make a statement. in the title race.
