Before the match between Liverpool and Manchester City on Sunday, the City had a high 29 team alterations this season with much promises of more coming results.

Analysis before the match showed that Manchester City faced with injury problems had a mere chance of winning. The match would decide the results of the Premier League and the champions head. Pep Guardiola expressed confidence of victory on their side even though they had major challenges for instance left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko had injury. His side had several injury worries as they looked to close with six-point gap on the unbeaten league leaders. This very well translated to a tragic halt of the dream.

Liverpool clenched a 3-1 victory after the match that was played at 4:00pm GMT with the goal from Fabinho (6), M Salah (13) and S Mane’ (51) while Man City goal assistance was from B Silva (78). Jürgen Klopp’s side put down an exemplary mark in Premier League title race. This was a major boost as they moved nine points by beating Man city at Anfield.

Liverpool have won 11 of their first 12 Premier League games this season while last season they decamped with a 10-points lead to City. In the sixth minute after Fabinho drilled the ball past Claudio Bravo to scoring, it was followed with disagreement as City felt they needed the penalty when Alexander-Arnolds arm was struck with the ball.

The VAR outcome brought a huge sigh of relief as the ball appeared to struck the arm in the penalty area before the Res broke to score the opening goal. The VAR ruled it as handball. Andrew Robertson’ brilliant cross led to double the hosts and Sadio Mane’s victory goal six minutes after half time. Bernardo Silvia’s low shot found the bottom corner which ensured the City a goal even though it was too late.
