Liverpool took on Manchester City at Anfield Road on Sunday night. The match offered a large number of scoring chances, but the teams parted after a draw. This is especially good for Arsenal, who moved to the top of the table.

Sunday’s programme of the 28th round of the English Premier League was closed by the clash between Liverpool and Manchester City. Either of the teams could move ahead of Arsenal at the top of the table if they win.

The home team entered the match more actively. Twenty-year-old right-back Conor Bradley got the first significant chance, but he couldn’t beat Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson.

The first time the ball ended up in the net was in the nineteenth minute when Uruguayan striker Darwin Núñez presented the ball to Luis Diaz in front of an empty net. However, the whole situation was preceded by an offside.

The change in the score did not come until the 23rd minute. Kevin De Bruyne, one of the key figures of Pep Guardiola’s team, took the corner kick and accurately found John Stones, who had no problem delivering the ball into the Liverpool net.

German coach Jürgen Klopp’s charges had other promising chances, but we didn’t see another change in the score before the end of the first half. The players went to the booths with the score 1-0 for the Citizens.

Best possible result for Arsenal

Liverpool entered the second half much better. Nathan Aké made a big mistake in the box and Ederson fouled Núñez in the penalty area. Head referee Michael Oliver awards a penalty kick.

As against Sparta, Alexis Mac Allister took it and made no mistake. This further stirred up the atmosphere at Anfield Road and the fans pushed the home side to victory.

The game still offered countless scoring opportunities, but the goalkeepers put in a reliable performance. The match ended in a draw, which was especially good for Arsenal.
