00:00Liverpool's 4-1 result against Newcastle here last weekend was their biggest Premier League win of the season.
00:09Their biggest margin of victory since the day they beat Spurs here to seal the title last April.
00:18Home advantage always huge when these sides meet.
00:21There have not been many away wins in games between Liverpool and City,
00:25whether it be here in Anfield or indeed across Manchester at the Etihad.
00:31And between them, these two clubs, champions of England in each of the last eight years.
00:40Bernardo Silva.
00:43There's a stretch there, appealing for options.
00:45Haaland in, saved by Alisson.
00:49Clever little ball from Bernardo Silva who just latches onto that little header down.
00:54Releases Haaland and that's a really good effort.
00:58Kerkes who looks more settled now.
01:01There's Semenyo, Haaland.
01:03Is there an upside here?
01:04Mahmouche against Alisson and he doesn't score anywhere.
01:09The flag goes up.
01:11Don't think it would have counted but Mahmouche should have stuck it away regardless.
01:16Should have done.
01:16He's thankful that flag goes up in the end, Mahmouche.
01:20Pep Guardiola hoping to complete a Premier League home and away double over Liverpool
01:23for the very first time.
01:25In fact, no Manchester City manager has run over the way.
01:28Salah comes in and the shot is blocked by Mark Gehe.
01:32And Liverpool get a corner.
01:34And the door nearly opened up for Mo Salah there.
01:37It's a brilliant ball this for McAllister.
01:38Watch this.
01:39He's shaping up to go far towards the Bozlai and then wraps his foot round it and finds Salah.
01:44Rodri.
01:48Too high for Mahmouche.
01:50Haaland.
01:51Always able to make something out of a half an opportunity.
01:54It's a great ball in that from Rodri.
01:56Really clever delivery this because he doesn't absolutely ping it too hard.
02:00He gives it a bit of air and it just glides across that six-yard box.
02:04It's better from them.
02:06Liverpool grateful of the versatility of Subozlai that he can cover right back.
02:10But they do miss him in more advanced positions.
02:12Here is Mo Salah.
02:14Just clips the heels of Florian Vietz.
02:16Rodri hesitated.
02:17Vietz to Gakpo.
02:19To Akatike.
02:21Liverpool's best chance of the game.
02:24And Rodri got away with that one.
02:26Yeah.
02:27Again, heat around Rodri.
02:30Looks like he's struggling to resist that pressure, doesn't he?
02:32A little bit.
02:34You can see there, Aitnuri misjudges that bounce.
02:36And then here, Vietz does well just to make life difficult.
02:40Helps it on once more to Akatike.
02:42He just can't curl it in.
02:44This is a better angle.
02:45We'll see how close that was.
02:48These opening 10 minutes.
02:50They're going to have offered as much as they did in the whole of the first half.
02:52But this is Marmouche.
02:54And this is Semenyo.
02:55And Alisson was grateful that that was pretty much straight at him.
02:59Great strike.
02:59Beautifully hit from Antoine Semenyo.
03:02Salah leaves it for Akatike.
03:04The game looking stretched.
03:06Salah wants it back.
03:07Here is Mo Salah.
03:09Akatike!
03:12Liverpool nearly springing it from one end to the other.
03:19What a chance that is.
03:24Wonderful counter-attack, this.
03:25I mean, Semenyo blasts this.
03:27Really hits it beautifully.
03:28Great hands from Alisson.
03:30And immediately recognising that that counter is there.
03:33What a switch that is.
03:36And all of a sudden, Liverpool, a 4v3.
03:40That's not the best ball, but actually the return from Salah is perfect.
03:44And he's got to hit the target there, Hugo Akatike.
03:46It's a great run.
03:48If he gets that on target, he probably scores.
03:51Tight game like this, nil-nil.
03:54Surely it's worth a pop.
03:55Dominic Saboslai!
04:06He's done it again!
04:11From a million miles out, Dominic Saboslai scores at the cup end!
04:20And it's an absolute screamer!
04:25That is absolutely perfect!
04:29He's hit it hard.
04:30It's fading away from the goalie.
04:32And he doesn't even move.
04:34Barely a twitch from the biggest goalie you've ever seen.
04:38Wow, what a goal.
04:40What a hit.
04:41Astonishing.
04:43His free kick from that range won the game against Arsenal in August.
04:50Has Dominic Saboslai just captured lightning in a jar again?
04:56Roderick.
05:02Cherokee.
05:03Blocked by McAllister.
05:05Harland's touchdown is good.
05:06It's the equaliser for Manchester City.
05:08And it's Bernardo Silva.
05:11Was he offside?
05:13That's all we've got to have a look at with this.
05:15We know Harland wins the header.
05:17He's good.
05:18I hope Bernardo Silva has timed that run perfectly.
05:22And that's a really good finish as well.
05:24Timing the run is one thing, but then you've got to be brave.
05:28He knows the goalie's coming out.
05:29He's twice his size.
05:32Big draw from the crowd at the announcement of seven.
05:34They both believe there's time to go win this.
05:36Mateusz Nunez, Alisson came out.
05:39And the referee is being appealed to by the Manchester City players.
05:44Craig Pawson gives a penalty.
05:47Massive call, this one.
05:49He goes for it full-blooded, Mateusz Nunez there.
05:52He cleans him out.
05:53The world, the global gaze on this kick.
05:56Harland scores!
05:58Manchester City lead in stoppage time
06:02as they tell Arsenal,
06:04we're coming to get you!
06:07That's the ten minutes of game time
06:09between Bernardo Silva making it 1-1
06:12and Erling Harland, as he so often does,
06:16rising to the occasion to claim the headlines late on.
06:24Ecstatic scenes for these Manchester City fans.
06:28Alisson took the throw in himself.
06:34Oh!
06:37Stumble!
06:38That's hearts and mouths all over Anfield.
06:40Liverpool can't get it forward quick enough here.
06:43McAllister deflected.
06:47What a save from Donnarumma!
06:50How did he stretch to reach that?
06:52What a stop.
06:54Because it had the deflection on it as well,
06:56which made it dip.
06:57It's that deflection that gives it that little dip,
07:00and it's coming under the bar,
07:01and that big right claw comes out
07:03to knock it away for a corner.
07:05Wonderful stuff.
07:06Alisson has gone forward.
07:09What a finish in Anfield!
07:13Subozlai.
07:14Alisson beaten in the air by Gehi.
07:17Oh, this could be an opportunity.
07:20Cherki.
07:21Harland in the sprint against Subozlai,
07:23who tries to pull him back!
07:25It's over the line anyway!
07:27Rayan Cherki's goal!
07:31City's third,
07:33and there's no doubt about it now!
07:36The three points are going to Pep Guardiola's team,
07:40who've turned it around late on!
07:43From 1-0 down,
07:45it's Liverpool 1,
07:46Manchester City 3!
07:48Well, where Subozlai has grabbed Erling Harland.
07:51So there, look,
07:53that's the one the referee is seeing there.
07:56Clear foul on Harland.
07:58Then you play on.
08:01It sounds like, Conor,
08:04that what's going to happen is
08:05that they're going to disallow the goal
08:07because Harland eventually grabs Subozlai,
08:10but they're going to send Subozlai off here.
08:13The final decision
08:14is a direct free kick
08:16to Manchester City
08:17and a red card.
08:18You called it, Andy.
08:19Yeah, I think that's what probably was going to happen there.
08:25I mean, City can't believe it.
08:27Everyone's unhappy.
08:28Yeah, it's Subozlai is.
08:29Subozlai sent off,
08:30City denied their goal,
08:31Pep's getting it explained to him
08:33by fourth official Tim Robinson.
08:35So, do Liverpool,
08:38the ten men of Liverpool,
08:39have time to get it down the other end?
08:42Liverpool have got to win this header
08:44to keep this going
08:45while they haven't had enough time.
08:47City, who lost home and away to Liverpool last season,
08:49have beaten Liverpool home and away
08:52this time round.
08:53It is a victory
08:55that closes the gap
08:58on Arsenal
08:59ahead of them.
09:00Liverpool
09:01beaten home and away by City
09:03for the first time in 89 years,
09:05but what a timely boost
09:07for Pep Guardiola.
09:09This has been a comeback
09:10that reminds everyone
09:12who Manchester City are
09:14and how good they can be.
09:17The 200th meeting of these clubs
09:18in all competitions
09:20ends Liverpool 1,
09:21Manchester City 2.
09:23o
