Liverpool and Manchester City share the spoils after thrilling four-goal second half at Anfield. One of the games of the season so far, albeit was 45 minutes of brilliance in the second half.
City dominated the first half, yet had nothing to show for it. When Liverpool came alive after half-time, they took the lead twice, only to be pegged back by City’s impressive resilience.
What a brilliant 45 minutes that second half was. It had football of the highest quality, its own mini goal of the season competition and a tackle by Rodri to prevent a certain Liverpool winner that deserves equal billing in any highlights reel.
What makes a great game? Goals. And every one here was a cracker. Liverpool were transformed after half-time, which was perhaps a reaction to what was said after Klopp sprinted urgently down the tunnel at the end of the first half having seen his players come a long way second best.
As for the goal of the match/season competition, it was probably won by Salah seven minutes later, an individual effort that would have made Lionel Messi proud. Salah left Bernardo Silva on his backside, beat Aymeric Laporte once and then again for good measure, and his finish was just perfect. What a talent he is.
What an enjoyable contest that was, especially for the neutral.
Plenty of heart-in-mouth moments for Liverpool and Manchester City but as Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp warmly embrace on the touchline, it is honours even at Anfield
