Manchester City were beaten 1-0 by Liverpool FC in Sunday's fiery-tempered Premier League fixture at Anfield.

"So, it's been a great show for the fans and I hope they enjoyed it because they are both great teams.” [Gundogan](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/ilkay-gundogan) agreed, saying: "In the second half, a lot of stuff happened, we scored which got disallowed, we conceded a goal which we should not have conceded. I think we played the way you have to play at Anfield apart from the situations which I mentioned before but unfortunately, we didn’t get the result we wanted." I think we played quite well in the second half but unfortunately, we gave them easy opportunities, a couple of easy opportunities, especially Mo Salah, running behind, so we got punished. So, the feeling is frustration because we wanted to win the three points here at Anfield.” Both teams had chances to score, so the result could have gone to either of the sides.

This is Anfield." “I lost it in that moment, it’s not okay. "The referee came to the coaches and said play on, play on," Guardiola told Sky Sports "There were a million fouls.

One of the biggest match-ups in the Premier League delivered on the hype, as Liverpool bested Manchester City – and handed Arsenal a four-point lead in the ...

By that stage, they could be well and truly on the road to relegation. And yes, Liverpool played with blazing intensity to match their manager’s fire – racking up 118.59km as a team, their second-highest total in the last three seasons. Arsenal may have opened up a gap at the top of the ladder. This time the script was flipped: they played horribly in the second half but still scraped a win. But the formation was nullified through the middle by Klopp’s disciplined and deeper defensive set-up (one of their deepest in three years), forcing City to slow down in possession – and crucially, limiting the spaces both on the flanks and behind the Liverpool defence that have been their greatest weakness this year. It opened up the game and ramped up the pressure on Liverpool’s right flank – their weak link this season. Leeds star Rogrigo’s horrible brain fade gifted the Gunners the opener, before Patrick Bamford missed a penalty, and VAR and a healthy dose of Aaron Ramsdale brilliance spared the league-leaders. De Bruyne was isolated on the right flank by the formation and Liverpool’s defence. But Klopp’s set-up was poised to benefit from that change, too. For so long, Roberto Firmino has played and redefined the false 9 role for Liverpool. Klopp’s Liverpool has so often reflected the frenzied antics of its German coach. This was a manic, red-hot battle between two juggernauts, fraught with tension and drama.

Liverpool put in a colossal display against Man City to potentially turn around their season. Andy Robertson summed up a fiery match.

Dominating the first five minutes made a huge difference to the contest. But a fired-up Robertson reacted to it, fulfilling many a Liverpool fan’s fantasy by shoving Silva in the back and seemingly telling him to “f**k off.” But for Liverpool, the outcome was elation, and a vindication of the switch to put the 30-year-old through the middle. Regardless, the upshot was that The whole approach would have collapsed with a below-par display from Elliott. But most of his highlights came in the defensive third. Klopp seemed to indicate that it was a mistake. But there was a layer of frustration in there for Klopp as well. It certainly looked as though Salah was about to be hooked for the final 20 minutes or so, with Klopp looking to inject renewed energy into the spirited Liverpool performance. Andy Robertson was one of many to epitomise that at various points throughout the contest. The foul by Liverpool confounded all of the pre-game expectations with a magnificent performance against Manchester City.
