"Before joining his triumphant players to celebrate in front of Manchester City's delirious away support, Pep Guardiola looked to the heavens above Anfield and blew a kiss. This stadium has tormented the City manager more often than most over the past decade but, should the title race twist as dramatically as this victory, his 11th and possibly final visit to Liverpool will be cherished as the turning point."
"Arsenal's evening mirrored Dominik Szoboszlai's from ecstasy to despair in the blink of a remarkable finale. In the 74th minute, when Szoboszlai repeated his impact against Arsenal and swept a 30-yard free-kick into the Kop goal, the league leaders were nine points clear and the obituaries were bring written for City. By the 93rd it was down to six points and by the 100th, with Liverpool down to 10 men, City had saved the title race."
Pep Guardiola looked to the heavens above Anfield and blew a kiss before joining his triumphant players in front of Manchester City's delirious away support. The stadium has tormented the City manager over the past decade, but the victory may act as a turning point. Gianluigi Donnarumma had previously deflated Liverpool in the Champions League with Paris Saint-Germain and denied a 99th-minute equaliser with a stunning save from Alexis Mac Allister. Erling Haaland completed the visitors' comeback from the penalty spot. Dominik Szoboszlai's 30-yard free-kick briefly left Arsenal nine points clear, but City narrowed the gap and kept the title race alive.
