"Erling Haaland kept Manchester City in the title race with an added-time penalty as Pep Guardiola's side came from behind to win 2-1 in a chaotic finish. After drawing three blanks the Norway international scored only his second Premier League goal since Christmas, and his first at Anfield, to give the visitors their first win in front of a crowd here since 2003."
"The City striker was then involved in a bizarre finish as he and Dominik Szoboszlai chased Rayan Cherki's shot from inside his own half with goalkeeper Alisson upfield searching for an equaliser. Szoboszlai pulled Haaland, who then tugged back the Hungary captain as the ball trickled over the line. After a video assistant referee check referee Craig Pawson decided Haaland had been denied a goalscoring opportunity so ruled out the goal, awarded a free-kick 30 yards out and sent off Szoboszlai."
