City were heading for defeat at Anfield with six minutes to go before Bernardo Silva cancelled out Dominik Szoboszlai’s stunning free-kick to spark an incredible finale.
Haaland put City in front from the spot before the visitors had another goal ruled out and Szoboszlai was sent off in the same incident after a VAR review.
Earlier, Ismaila Sarr’s second-half foal helped Crystal Palace end a woeful 12-match winless run with a 1-0 Premier League victory away to bitter rivals Brighton.
Senegal international Sarr, who scored twice in Palace’s 3-1 win at the Amex last season, scored the only goal of the game in the 61st minute.
The Eagles’ victory was their first in all competitions since mid-Decem-ber and took them to 13th place — a point above the Seagulls.
