Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold salvages point in their tie with Manchester City

Trent Alexander-Arnold helped Liverpool get a tie against Manchester City on Saturday. The game ended in a 1-1 draw at the Etihad stadium.

Erling Haaland scored his 50th goal in the Premier League in the first half. Then, with 10 minutes left, Mohamed Salah helped Alexander-Arnold score, and the game ended in a tie.

City is in first place in the Premier League with 29 points, followed by Liverpool with 28 points. Arsenal is in third place with 27 points, but they can move to first place if they win against Brentford later on Saturday.

City was in control at the beginning and looked like they could score, especially on the right side of Liverpool’s defense where Jeremy Doku was causing trouble. Then, Phil Foden shot the ball towards the goal, but it was easily caught by Alisson.

Liverpool had a good opportunity to score after 15 minutes when Salah passed the ball to Darwin Nunez, but the goalkeeper Ederson saved his header. This helped Liverpool play better with their fast counter-attacks.

The city team almost scored when Curtis Jones passed the ball back to the goalkeeper, but Liverpool managed to recover before they could take the lead.

In the 28th minute, Haaland scored his 50th goal in the Premier League in just 48 games, which is the fastest any player has done in the competition. This happened after Alisson made a mistake with the ball and Nathan Ake passed it to Haaland for the goal.

Liverpool tried really hard to score before half-time, but they didn’t make it. City kept trying to score, and Alisson had to stop a strong shot from Foden. The score was still 1-0 at halftime.

After the game started again, Julian Alvarez had a good opportunity to score a second goal for City. Doku got past Alexis Mac Allister and passed the ball to Alvarez, but he missed the shot over the crossbar from 15 yards away.

Haaland took a shot that went over the bar. Then Ruben Dias scored a goal, but it was not allowed because there was a foul. The referee checked the play with VAR and decided to disallow the goal.

Both teams had more opportunities to score. Nunez’s shot was stopped by Ederson, and Salah passed to Alexander-Arnold who scored a goal from 20 yards away.

That made the away fans go crazy as Alexander-Arnold told the City fans to be quiet while celebrating.

Klopp’s team and Pep Guardiola’s team both tried to win at the end, but the game at the Etihad Stadium ended in a 1-1 tie. Arsenal might be the biggest winners because they can move to the top of the standings if they beat Brentford.
