At Anfield Stadium, two of the best attacking teams in the championship faced off - Manchester City against Liverpool. Led by Jurgen Klopp, the team did something no other team in the Premier League has done this season - in a true goal drama, they defeated the "City" team with a score of 4-3.
From the very beginning of the match, Liverpool imposed their game on their opponents and pressed City in their own half. The first goal was not long in coming - in the 9th minute, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain made a great run and with a powerful shot beat Ederson and sent the "Reds" fans into euphoria.
After scoring the goal, Liverpool did not intend to sit back and defend, but rather sought their own opportunities as the leaders of the English league did. Finally, in the 40th minute, the score became level - Leroy Sane also sent the ball into the opponents' goal with a great run.
In the second half, the football spectacle continued, leaving no one indifferent. Liverpool put City under pressure and continued to press them from their penalty area.
The pressure paid off - in the 61st minute, Mohamed Salah intercepted the ball from Nicolas Otamendi, and Sadio Mane sent the ball into the corner of the net with an incredible shot.
