BIG 9 MINUTES IN TITLE RACE
Manchester Evening News
|February 10, 2026
IN the space of just nine minutes, the title race was turned on its head.
From the brink of defeat and falling nine points behind Arsenal, City's sensational comeback proved Pep Guardiola will fight until the bitter end.
Dominik Szoboszlai had put Liverpool ahead and let's not forget City's terrible second half record in the Premier League since January 1.
City had not scored in the second half before Anfield, they had dropped seven points from goals conceded in second halves and that talked to them fading.
But the way City roared back at Anfield spoke volumes for their determination to push Arsenal and not give up.
It had to be Bernardo Silva equal-ising. What a leader and warrior he has been during City's glory years. He knows what it takes.
