Trent Alexander Arnold denied defending champions Manchester City all 3 points at 80th minute following early goal scored by Erling Haaland.

The Reds came from behind despite City dominating possession and having better chance creations, after sharing the points at the Etihad Stadium, there is barely anything between the sides in the Premier League.

Man City remain top of the table on 29 points, with Liverpool hot on their heels on 28 points.

Their positions may change as Arsenal and Tottenham both have the chance to capitalize from the draw, but Liverpool will take confidence from ending Guardiola’s side 100% record at home this season.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola saw his side drop points at home for the first time this season. It’s the first time since Everton in December 2022 that an away side has avoided defeat at the Etihad.


“Excellent performance. Against a top, incredible team – the way we played was excellent. We were good in all departments, in the back, with our build up with the keeper,” Guardiola said.

“We know the quality Erling has, it was a really good finish. He had the header as well. It was an excellent performance. I’m so pleased. After many years that we still perform and run that way – there is so much to be proud of,” Guardiola added

Sunderland’s record of 24 consecutive home wins remains intact, as City have failed to win today after 23 victories on the bounce at the Etihad.
