Man City had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Etihad Stadium in round 13 of the Premier League on the evening of November 25, breaking another record.

Man City, as expected, dominated the parameters in the first half due to home advantage. Liverpool generated several chances but lacked the finesse and creativity to beat goalkeeper Ederson in 45 minutes. Firstly.

Man City’s attack is dangerous because of the youth of Doku, Foden, Alvarez, Erling Haaland, and Bernardo Silva’s wit. Every time the home team approaches Alisson’s goal, the “Red Devils” defense is thrown off guard by their quick movement and rapid switching of positions.

When Pep Guardiola’s team scored the opening goal in the 27th minute, it was just what they needed. Defender Nathan Ake assisted Haaland’s goal, allowing the young Norwegian striker to set a new record. 50th Premier League goal in record time (50 games). A amazing accomplishment because Haaland broke the renowned Andy Cole’s record of 50 goals in 65 matches, which he held for decades. That was also the striker’s 10th goal in his past seven outings for Man City in all competitions, and he remains the Premier League’s “top scorer” with 14 goals this season.

The defeat pushed coach Jurgen Klopp to alter his strategy. As a result, rather than attempting to stop Man City’s attack, the German coach sent Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, and Ryan Gravenberch onto the field in search of an equalizer. This causes turmoil in Liverpool’s defense since Doku, Foden, Alvarez, and Haaland have more space, creating numerous possibilities to double the margin.

However, as the home team appeared to have three points with an active attitude at Etihad Stadium, the away team surprisingly equalized 1-1 with more than ten minutes remaining in the match. The English champion’s defense paid the price for a lapse in focus by allowing Trent Alexander-Arnold to freely run up and score a dangerous shot from a Mohamed Salah pass.

Man City (29 points) and Liverpool (28 points) remain first and second in the Premier League standings, respectively. Coach Guardiola’s team could lose first place if Arsenal (27 points) defeats Brentford in a later round 13 match.
