Late drama keeps City in title race after show of real fight

CITY are still in the title race - even more amazingly, they have won a game of football at Anfield.

Sometimes in football you do not get what you deserve, and Pep Guardiola will feel like plenty has gone against him at Anfield over the course of ten visits in his ten years.

When Dominik Szoboszlai slapped in a free-kick off the post with 20 minutes to go to undo all of the good work from City on Sunday afternoon, he will have been ready to rehearse the same tired old script.

Except City had showed they had something different about them all afternoon, and so they refused to accept the narrative.

Erling Haaland leapt highest for Bernardo Silva to score with five minutes to go, and then when Matheus Nunes was bundled over by Alisson Becker in injury time up stepped Haaland to score a penalty and win the game.

How sweet for those fans in the away end, who will have to have been following the team for 23 years to see their team win at Anfield before this.
