March 10, (THEWILL)- In a pulsating English Premier League encounter at Anfield, title contenders Liverpool and Manchester City could not be separated as they played out a 1-1 draw, on Sunday. The result means Pep Guardiola’s side have won just once in their last 21 visits to the famous Merseyside ground.
The visitors started strongly, with Julian Alvarez and Kevin De Bruyne both denied by Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, in the opening eight minutes. However, it was City who took the lead in the 23rd minute when John Stones turned in De Bruyne’s clever corner delivery.
Liverpool were handed a lifeline shortly after the restart when Ederson brought down Darwin Nunez, and Alexis Mac Allister coolly converted the resulting penalty. Both sides had chances to claim all three points, with Nunez and Luis Diaz going close for the hosts, while Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku struck the woodwork for City.
The dramatic 1-1 draw leaves Liverpool level on points with Arsenal at the Premier League summit, with Manchester City a point behind the leading pair.
Jurgen Klopp’s men extended their unbeaten run across all competitions to eight matches, while City’s remarkable unbeaten streak now stands at 21 games.
