The match saw Liverpool take the lead with a stunning free-kick from Dominik Szoboszlai in the 74th minute, igniting hopes for the home fans. However, City responded fiercely, equalizing in the 84th minute through Bernardo Silva, followed by Erling Haaland converting a penalty in stoppage time to clinch the win.

The victory was crucial for Manchester City, who are now 6 points behind league leaders Arsenal, with just thirteen matches left in the season.
