Manchester City secured a thrilling 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Anfield, staging a late rally to keep their Premier League title hopes alive. Initially trailing after Dominik Szoboszlai’s remarkable free kick for Liverpool in the 75th minute, City turned the game around with goals from Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland. Haaland’s penalty kick sealed the dramatic comeback for City.
The match took a chaotic turn towards the end when Szoboszlai fouled Haaland, leading to a disallowed goal after a VAR review. Despite the intense competition, City’s manager Guardiola praised the team’s spirit and determination. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace ended a 13-game winless streak with a 1-0 victory over Brighton, thanks to Ismaila Sarr’s goal, pushing them nine points clear of the relegation zone.
James Milner, an unused substitute for Brighton, remains one appearance away from matching Gareth Barry’s Premier League appearance record of 653. The weekend’s Premier League action showcased intense competition and crucial victories for Manchester City and Crystal Palace.
