Jérémy Doku and Manchester City were denied a late winner against Liverpool after his shot came off the post, as the battle between the title rivals ended 1-1
It was Alexis Mac Allister who lit the touchpaper at the start of the second half, scoring from the penalty spot to cancel out John Stones’s opener for City midway through a first half that the defending champions had shaded.– high-energy football, thrilling to watch and it was possible to feel that a winner would somehow be willed in. Liverpool have made decisive late goals a happy habit this season.
It had certainly been worth reflecting on Liverpool’s casualty list at kick-off; it numbered 10 after Ibrahima Konaté was ruled out, with Klopp also deeming Andy Robertson and Salah fit enough only to start among the substitutes. City missed one player and one player alone – Jack Grealish.Klopp was without some big names – most notably Alisson and Trent Alexander-Arnold – and one of the manager’s biggest decisions had been to start Joe Gomez at left-back.
Liverpool had their moments during a pulsating first half, none bigger than Dominik Szoboszlai’s free header on 32 minutes when he ghosted on to Harvey Elliott’s floated cross. The Hungary international had to generate the power on the ball and his sights were awry.
