Haaland had some gigantic chances against a crisis-stricken Liverpool. It would pay off, because then Mohamed Salah finished with a magical score that could turn “everything” around for Liverpool this season. Salah, who has been ice cold earlier this season, brilliantly turned away João Cancelo. He was calmly alone with goalkeeper Ederson, and decided the top game at Anfield. Thus, Liverpool got a much-awaited upturn. City are now four points behind league leaders Arsenal. DECIDED: Mohamed Salah was the big hero in the big game against Manchester City.

The first was big when he was sent through alone but his attempted chip was saved by Alisson. In addition, he had a great opportunity on his head, but the ball went into the clutches of Liverpool’s goalkeeper. – On a good day they sit there, I think. The sharpness is a bit lacking today, said Alfie Haaland during the break. Jürgen Klopp’s men also had opportunities to score, but they were also unable to break through. After a somewhat quiet first half, things really started to boil at Anfield. Salah had a giant chance alone with the keeper. It was followed by Phil Foden putting the ball in the goal, and “everyone” thought City were in the lead. But then the referee showed the VAR sign, and canceled the goal for a foul Haaland committed just before the goal. Pep Guardiola was mildly displeased with that, and he was furious with the refereeing team. Klopp saw red It also boiled over for Klopp, who was furious when a referee’s decision did not go Liverpool’s way. The referee finally chose to give a red card to the German, who will therefore also not be on the sidelines in the next Liverpool match.

But this time the ball wouldn’t go past Alisson either. – I thought when Haaland got the ball, that now it’s 1-0. It is a rescue on the top shelf, said Viaplay’s expert commentator Nils Johan Semb. Thus, the story from the Community Shield is repeated. At the time, Haaland also had several golden opportunities to send his team into the lead, but the margins were on the wrong side. With tonight’s result, Arsenal are alone at the top of the Premier League, while Liverpool now have new life in the battle for a place in the Champions League.
