Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland scored two late goals to cancel Dominik Szoboszlai’s stunning goal to help Manchester City secure crucial maximum points against Liverpool in Sunday’s Premier League game at Anfield.
City dominated the first half and should have taken the lead in just the second minute when Silva slid Haaland in for a glorious chance, but Alisson saved well at the Norwegian’s feet.
The hosts did not see much of the ball, with their best chance of the first half coming when Gianluigi Donnarumma flapped at a cross from Szoboszlai, but Mohamed Salah’s attempted lob from a tight angle landed over the bar.

In the 74th minute, just as he did against Arsenal on Matchday 3, Szoboszlai unleashed an unstoppable free-kick from long range that nestled into the opposition net. The Hungarian’s effort flew in off the post, and appeared to deal another hammer blow to City’s title hopes.
However, Guardiola’s men fought back to equalise with six minutes of normal time remaining. A deflected cross fell kindly to Haaland, who headed to Silva to turn in from close range.
Then in added time, Matheus Nunes was bundled over inside the box by Liverpool keeper Alisson and referee Craig Pawson pointed to the spot.
Haaland made no mistake, as he scored his 21st Premier League of the season to send the visiting fans wild.
