da betobet： The Norwegian put the Blues in command, but his strike partner fluffed a golden chance to end the game as a contest and the Merseysiders capitalised
da bet nacional： Erling Haaland had trained with "niggles" just two days before Manchester City's crunch game with Liverpool, but once the first whistle went, he looked as physically sharp and hungry as ever and smashed his side into the lead, becoming the fastest player in Premier League history to reach 50 goals.
City looked on top for most of the game, but Julian Alvarez spurned a glorious chance crafted by the electric Jeremy Doku and Liverpool grabbed an equaliser from out of nowhere via Trent Alexander-Arnold with just over 10 minutes left to play.
City went looking for the winner deep into added-time, but couldn't find it and their long winning steak at home finally came to end on 23 victories. Pep Guardiola's side are still top of the Premier League, but they were reminded once more of Liverpool's capacity to keep them in check like no other side has been able to do in the last seven years.
GOAL rates Man City's players from the Etihad Stadium…
Getty ImagesGoalkeeper & Defence
Ederson (6/10):
Was having a quiet game until he was left stumped by Alexander-Arnold's thumping finish. Decent on the ball when under pressure.
Kyle Walker (7/10):
Dominated his right-flank, barely allowing Jota a sniff.
Ruben Dias (7/10):
Commanded the defence superbly in a perfect response to his shocker at Stamford Bridge.
Manuel Akanji (7/10):
Zipped in between midfield and defence to great effect, disrupting Liverpool's engine room for most of the match.
Nathan Ake (8/10):
Fantastic movement to set up Haaland's goal and kept Salah shackled for the bulk of the game until the Egyptian teed up Alexander-Arnold.

Phil Foden (6/10):
Should have buried a gift from Alisson in the first half and in general lacked a bit of sharpness.
Rodri (7/10):
Helped City control large chunks of the game
Bernardo Silva (7/10):
Ran rings around Liverpool in the first half.
Jeremy Doku (8/10):
A constant thorn in Liverpool's right side but Alvarez's finishing let him down.
Getty ImagesAttack
Erling Haaland (7/10):
Looked ravenous from the opening minute, tearing after every opponent. Took his goal superbly to break yet another Premier League record, but should have struck again, missing three efforts after the break.
Julian Alvarez (5/10):
Had a wretched game and his finishing and touch let him down, none more so than when he spooned Doku's cross over the bar.
Getty ImagesSubs & Manager
Pep Guardiola (6/10):
His selection looked to have paid off until Alexander-Arnold's unexpected piledriver. Didn't make any substitutions, even after conceding, and his 23-game home winning streak is finally over.
