We really deserved to win today but Nevertheless Arsenal will suffer in our hand at Etihad for this Liverpool has done to us today': Man city Star Erling Haaland sends strong premier league message to Arsenal fans ahead of their clash next week

 

Liverpool and Manchester City couldn't be separated at Anfield as their title tussle ended all square to leave Arsenal on top of the table and fire the starting pistol for the run-in..

City took the lead midway through the first half when Kevin De Bruyne's clever corner was bundled in at the near post by John Stones in a pre-rehearsed move, but Liverpool continued to press and almost levelled when Luis Diaz fired wide.

The Reds did then grab an equaliser early in the second period when Nathan Ake's poor back pass was seized upon by Darwin Nunez, who was brought down by Ederson to allow Alexis Mac Allister to coolly net from the spot.

Diaz missed two golden opportunities for Liverpool, and Stefan Ortega - on for the injured Ederson - saved well from Nunez, while City sub Jeremy Doku fired against the inside of the post from an angle late on, and he then survived a late VAR check after catching Mac Allister in the box.

Here are the game's main talking points from a breathless Anfield occasion.
