One of the most important clashes of the entire Premier League season gets underway at the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City host Liverpool with the two teams separated by just a single point. Whoever wins will gain a massive boost for the title race in the final weeks.
It took all of six minutes for the game to erupt. A darting run through the middle by Kevin De Bruyne set Gabriel Jesus free down the right. His first time cross to Raheem Sterling looked to have set up a sure goal.
6. We’ll completely ignore the goal we should’ve scored seconds earlier! 😂@DeBruyneKev strikes one on his left peg, it deflects and loops out of Alisson’s reach and goes in off the post – GET IN!!!! 💪
🔵 1-0 🔴 #ManCity

However, Alisson produced a big save to deny the Englishman. Nevertheless, City kept up the pressure and after a quick free-kick, De Bruyne’s deflected shot kissed the post before going in. Liverpool were struggling to get ahold of the ball as City were being urged on by the fans.
They would be in for a rude shock. Andy Robertson crossed to Trent Alexander-Arnold who laid the ball off to an onrushing Diogo Jota who never misses these days.

The intensity of the match was off the charts. Both teams were going for it hell and leather. Ederson almost gifted Liverpool a goal by failing to clear a pass but did so just on the goal line. De Bruyne had another sharp chance which was dragged just wide. The great spectacle got another twist soon enough.
A corner from City was cleared only as far as Joao Cancelo. The leftback’s cross to the far post found the run of Gabriel Jesus who had tiptoed in behind the backline. Alisson rushed out to close the angle but there was no stopping Jesus.
