"City were nine points behind in second place at kick-off and their hopes looked set to evaporate as they trailed to Dominic Szoboszlai's sensational 74th-minute free-kick. But Bernardo Silva got City back into it with six minutes of normal time to play before Haaland scored what proved to be the winner from the penalty spot in the third minute of stoppage time."
"It's three points, it's three points, it's three points, simple as that, no matter who you play if it is Tottenham or whatever, Haaland said. But I know what you mean. And yes, definitely, it's true. Was it a statement result? Of course, Haaland replied. And look at the emotions with the fans in the end. It was amazing. They deserve it after supporting us week in, week out. Yeah, they definitely deserve to win at Anfield."
City arrived at Anfield with a poor recent record and sitting nine points behind in second, having won only once at Anfield under Pep Guardiola during the Covid season. Liverpool took the lead through Dominic Szoboszlai's sensational 74th-minute free-kick and looked set to deny City. Bernardo Silva equalised with six minutes of normal time remaining and Erling Haaland converted a stoppage-time penalty to secure the 2-1 win. Gianluigi Donnarumma produced a late save to deny Alexis Mac Allister, Rayan Cherki had a goal disallowed, and Szoboszlai was sent off. Haaland emphasised the three points, called it a statement and praised the fans.
