Haaland wins it late for Man City at Liverpool amid stoppage-time chaos at Anfield

12 hours ago 2

Erling Haaland scored a stoppage-time penalty as Manchester City came from behind late on to beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield – and keep the title race alive.

Dominik Szoboszlai's sensational free-kick had looked set to secure the victory for the reigning Premier League champions but Bernardo Silva forced home to equalise in the 84th minute before Alisson brought down Matheus Nunes to leave the crowd stunned.

Haaland then tucked away the spot-kick but there was still time for drama at both ends of the pitch. Gianluigi Donnarumma saved brilliantly from Alexis Mac Allister before Szoboszlai was sent off amid VAR confusion as Rayan Cherki's goal was ruled out.

The three points, secured in such dramatic fashion, move City back within six points of Arsenal at the top. Arne Slot's Liverpool, meanwhile, remain four points behind fifth-placed Chelsea and in danger of missing out on next season's Champions League.
