Jeremy Doku constantly causes problems for the Liverpool defense

Man City attacked continuously on the right wing with the appearance of Doku and Ake. But the first dangerous ball of the match came from an individual mistake. In the 11th minute, Alisson Becker failed to pass, allowing Phil Foden to finish, but the English player could not take advantage of the opportunity.

A few minutes later, Liverpool made the home fans worried. Salah dribbled the ball on the right wing and crossed the ball accurately, but Nunez could not beat Ederson. In the first half of the first half, Man City controlled the ball more but could not create good enough opportunities to score. Once again, Haaland’s class was voiced.

In the 27th minute, defender Nathan Ake passed two Liverpool players. He passed the ball to Haaland and the Norwegian striker had a rhythm of movement and a dangerous shot to open the score for Man City.

That was also his 50th goal in the Premier League, and also set a record for the fastest player to reach 50 goals in history (48 matches) – 17 matches faster than the previous person.

Conceding a goal, Liverpool tried to push their squad higher to put pressure on Ederson’s goal.

However, Man City succeeded in “locking down” Salah. In the penalty area, Nunez was somewhat clumsy, so opportunities gradually passed by the away team.

Entering the second half, Liverpool improved their position. They held the ball more and attacked more coherently. The highlight in the first 20 minutes was Jeremy Doku’s speed and technique. This player constantly made it difficult for Arnold to attack. He brought home many free kicks and had a few notable passes for Erling Haaland.

But just one moment Alexander-Arnold could get close to Man City’s penalty area, he made a difference. In the 80th minute, Salah released the ball just enough for Arnold to score a diagonal shot to tie the game 1-1 for the away team.

Liverpool were under great pressure during the 8 minutes of extra time. The Red Brigade’s defense stood firm and the match ended in a 1-1 draw. So this will be an opportunity for Arsenal to advance if they win against Brenford tonight.
