The treble winners travelled to Merseyside to face off against Liverpool where they were hoping to go top of the league and give a third leader of the league in the weekend. But it wasn’t meant to be.
Liverpool came into the game with serious injuries and a very broken down team compared to the City squad that was filled with veterans and looked like an easy win on paper.
However despite going up 1-0 with a brilliant set piece from De Bruyne allowed Stones to put the ball past Kelleher in the back of the net, they went down to 1-1 with a slow back pass to Ederson from Akè and led to a penalty given to the home side.
The collision that led to the penalty left Ederson with, what seems like, a groin injury and was sent to the bench and Ortega was subbed on to try and stop the goals from flooding in from the returning Mohammed Salah, which he did very well.
The return of Mohammed Salah and Andrew Robertson gave Liverpool fans something to be glad about with Salah’s record against City being quite extraordinary with 4 goals in 5.
The game ended 1-1 and left fans wondering what does this mean for the Premier League table and it could mean that Arsenal have the chance to create a lead with 10 games left with the next game being against Manchester City.
Until then, Manchester City face off against Newcastle in the FA Cup to find a spot in the semi finals to possibly face off against Liverpool once again.
