    A slippage – was all it took. These teams were split by one mistake. The best goalless draw the Premier League had ever seen was suddenly not that after Joao Cancelo failed to stop an overhead kick from Alisson.

    By the time the game was done, the clamor inside Anfield was deafening, Jurgen Klopp had been dismissed for yelling at a linesman over a foul on Mo Salah that had not been called, and six minutes of further injury time had been signaled, heightening the tense atmosphere even more.

    The top-to-bottom distance was currently four points with Liverpool’s win over Manchester City. Arsenal benefited the most from the outcome of the game likewise Klopp whose days at Liverpool initially seemed numbered due to poor run of league games this season.

    You wouldn’t have known it, though. When Mo Salah scored with 15 minutes left, the entire stadium was rocked.

    Goalkeeper Allison’s fantastic, rapid thinking was the type of fast-paced notion that had characterized Liverpool all afternoon.

    He observed Salah facing Cancelo one on one. He put the Manchester City player through a test, which he failed.

    Cancelo normally plays flawlessly, but Salah frightened him. When he tried to kill the ball by moving forward but failed, Salah spun him.

    With him gone, Ederson was the only opponent left. Although he just scored a hat-trick in the Champions League against Rangers, he had not scored in the league since August.

    Liverpool put nine past Bournemouth and still didn’t turn a corner, so it’s too soon to declare that they’re back, but this was a fantastic return to form.

    Liverpool shocked City in a traditional way. The energy level was insane, also the stress. After 53 minutes, City believed Phil Foden had scored, but Anthony Taylor was correctly alerted of a foul by Erling Haaland on Fabinho in the lead-up.

    Pep Guardiola made a wonderful show of motivating the Liverpool supporters as they celebrated, just like Klopp does.

    Although the managers respect one another, there isn’t much romance between these clubs.

    Liverpool’s day had come. After Roberto Firmino again found Salah open, Ederson made the game’s greatest save in the 50th minute.

    Taylor didn’t notice that Ederson had been touched. Haaland’s foul was possibly for the best because City’s disallowed goal was scored from the erroneous goal-kick that followed.

    Salah ought to have been off the field. Two minutes prior to the goal, Klopp made a flurry of replacements, and when his number was called, the striker marched over to the bench with a face like thunder before being given instructions and told to continue.

    Even though the 11 seemed to be a mistake rather than a change of heart, it was nevertheless one of the more joyful U-turns in recent memory.

    It wasn’t Haaland’s day on the other end, though. He seized his opportunities, forcing Alisson to make a commendable stop, but he couldn’t make the difference.

    At the very end, Guardiola was seen chatting cheerfully with one striker, but it was Salah. Klopp was also back after being rightfully fired for a snarling attack on a referee who missed a foul on Salah.

    Diogo Jota’s unfortunate journey came to an end when he suffered a serious injury and had to be taken to the hospital on a stretcher after missing a few decent headed chances.

    Liverpool has always responded well to Manchester City, and this match was no exception. After s thrilling 90 minutes, it ended Liverpool one, Manchester City nil.
