"Haaland put City in front from the spot before the visitors had another goal ruled out and Szoboszlai was sent off in the same incident after a VAR review - in the 113th minute. Haaland and Szoboszlai tangled in pursuit of a long-range shot in the dying stages, with the Liverpool player deemed to have denied his City rival a clear goal-scoring opportunity by grabbing his arm in bizarre scenes."
"Haaland has scored just once from open play in his last 13 games and an uncharacteristic lack of confidence from the Norwegian showed with the best chance of the first half inside the opening two minutes. Manchester City's Erling Haaland celebrates after scoring his match-winning penalty.

Manchester City staged a dramatic stoppage-time comeback to beat Liverpool 2-1 after Bernardo Silva cancelled out Dominik Szoboszlai's stunning free-kick. Erling Haaland converted a late penalty to secure the win, with a separate City goal ruled out and Szoboszlai sent off following a VAR review for denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity. The victory marked City's first crowd-attended away win at Liverpool since 2003 and tightened the title race by reducing Arsenal's lead to six points. The result dealt Liverpool another blow in the hunt for Champions League qualification and exposed both clubs' vulnerabilities this season.
