Man City vs Liverpool - Premier League Live Updates
Follow Daily Mail Sport's live coverage as Manchester City host Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium in a Premier League clash.
Penalty Decision
After an extended VAR review, referee Chris Kavanagh awarded a penalty. He stated,
“After review the goalkeeper creates a foul challenge on the attacker. Final decision is penalty.”
This moment was a blow for Liverpool, as goalkeeper Mamardashvili clipped Doku with his knee, preventing a clear shot.
Key Moments
- Doku advanced quickly, but Liverpool's defense appeared to manage well with Konate intervening.
- However, Konate's clearance deflected off Bradley, putting Doku through on goal again.
- Doku tried to bypass Mamardashvili, who went down, and Cherki’s subsequent shot was blocked before Liverpool cleared the ball.
- The sequence led to another extended VAR check.
Man City Attacks
City moved swiftly on the counter; Foden fed Doku, who then passed back to Foden. Despite this promising move, the recently recalled England star failed to control the ball, allowing van Dijk to clear effectively.
Early Game Dynamics
Manchester City started brightly, maintaining a very narrow shape similar to their tactical approach against Bournemouth last week. Salah received a long ball, but Dias stopped his advance efficiently.
“City look bright in the early stages though, although as we mentioned they are very narrow, which is how they played against Bournemouth last week.”
