Man City Edge Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield After VAR Confirms Guehi Yellow

The Premier League Match Centre said a covering defender meant Marc Guehi’s pull on Mohamed Salah did not meet DOGSO.

Overview

  • Manchester City overturned a second‑half deficit to win 2-1, sealed by Erling Haaland’s stoppage‑time penalty.
  • VAR reviewed Marc Guehi’s 69th‑minute shirt pull on Mohamed Salah and upheld a yellow card, citing a covering defender and a foul outside the box.
  • Liverpool manager Arne Slot argued the foul was a clear red and said recent major decisions have not fallen Liverpool’s way.
  • Marc Guehi acknowledged the challenge “could have been” a red card but said it was for the referee and VAR to decide.
  • A late City goal was ruled out on review and Dominik Szoboszlai was sent off for a shirt pull on Haaland, with City now six points behind leaders Arsenal.
