Haaland’s Stoppage-Time Penalty Completes Man City Comeback at Anfield, Reviving Title Push

The comeback narrows Arsenal's lead to six points, intensifying pressure on a Liverpool side now outside the Champions League places.

Overview

  • Liverpool led through Dominik Szoboszlai’s 74th‑minute free‑kick before Bernardo Silva equalised late and Erling Haaland converted a stoppage‑time penalty for a 2-1 Manchester City win.
  • Szoboszlai was sent off for denying a goalscoring opportunity in added time, capping a chaotic finish that also featured a disallowed City goal in open play.
  • The result moves City within six points of leaders Arsenal and marks their first league win at Anfield in front of a crowd since 2003.
  • Liverpool remain sixth in the table, four points off fifth-placed Chelsea, with Jamie Carragher warning they are unlikely to reach the Champions League spots after another late collapse.
  • Arne Slot said Liverpool have improved yet lamented key decisions, pointing to a missed red card for a foul on Mohamed Salah and the penalty award, as debate over officiating continued.
