Liverpool vs Man City

After nine minutes of injury time, referee Anthony Taylor called time on a feisty encounter between Manchester City and Liverpool, with the hosts taking all ...

For all Taylor's attempts to play on, he prevented City a clear chance to attack on the break to send Klopp off when that could have waited a few seconds more. The issue was that after the officials had decided no foul had been committed, City were allowed to break upfield in search of an equaliser. When he became involved in a wrestling match with Mo Salah in the second half, dragging the Egyptian to the floor as he lost his balance, Anfield was incensed - even if Bernardo had been getting similar physical treatment all game. And for large portions of the game, when City had possession, they lined up in a clear back three with Ake coming inside alongside Akanji and Ruben Dias - with Cancelo moving into midfield. From the start, Liverpool took advantage of referee Anthony Taylor's decision to let 'small' fouls go, and they used that stance to target Bernardo Silva. City often allow a full-back to push up in possession, but this felt like a more defined back three, even if Cancelo resumed his position out of possession.

The pair clashed over James Milner after he was praised for his display in Manchester City's loss to Liverpool.

Richards doubled down on his praise, saying that his former teammate had succeeded in difficult circumstances: "He’s a central midfielder playing right-back against one of the most in-form players." In the Manchester derby he (Foden) was excellent, I thought he would run Milner ragged but Milner was brilliant. Milner played for City and was part of their 2012 and 2014 title wins, and former teammate Richards praised his performance. However, in typical fashion, Keane was sceptical, claiming that the veteran had not done anything spectacular. Milner, 36, was expected to endure a difficult afternoon, with the former City midfielder having struggled in previous outings for the Reds this season. It was far from the predicted result, with Milner having started for the Reds at right-back and Trent Alexander-Arnold starting the contest on the bench.

Liverpool's thrilling 1-0 victory over Manchester City was marred by a number of incidents, as Pep Guardiola alleged that coins were thrown at him, ...

"We know the impact such behaviour has on the families, survivors and all those associated with such disasters.

Join the debate in the We have also been made aware of an allegation that a Manchester City team coach was damaged. I apologise for that. I am sorry. Are Liverpool now back in the Premier League title race? "It never should happen, never." All these coins, they tried, but didn't get it. [Merseyside Police](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/merseyside-police) will work with both [Liverpool](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc) and [Manchester City](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/manchester-city-fc) to address a [string of concerning incidents](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-man-city-rivalry-chants-28261259) which are alleged to have occurred during [Sunday's fiery clash](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/match-reports/liverpool-man-city-salah-var-28252926) between the two teams at Anfield. It didn’t get me. [Merseyside Police](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/merseyside-police) said: "We can confirm we are working closely with Liverpool and Manchester City football clubs to understand a number of reported incidents which took place at the match at Anfield yesterday, Sunday 16 October.

Manchester City were beaten 1-0 by Liverpool FC in Sunday's fiery-tempered Premier League fixture at Anfield.

"So, it's been a great show for the fans and I hope they enjoyed it because they are both great teams.” [Gundogan](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/ilkay-gundogan) agreed, saying: "In the second half, a lot of stuff happened, we scored which got disallowed, we conceded a goal which we should not have conceded. I think we played the way you have to play at Anfield apart from the situations which I mentioned before but unfortunately, we didn’t get the result we wanted." I think we played quite well in the second half but unfortunately, we gave them easy opportunities, a couple of easy opportunities, especially Mo Salah, running behind, so we got punished. So, the feeling is frustration because we wanted to win the three points here at Anfield.” Both teams had chances to score, so the result could have gone to either of the sides.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was shown a red card by fourth official Andy Madley during the 1-0 victory over Manchester City at Anfield.

“And then I had the perfect view of the linesman (for the Salah incident), we were 1-0 up and you get a free-kick there or they counter-attack, and that’s pretty much a 100% difference. There was already that first moment where Pep and I were pretty animated for the same reason, we were not arguing with each other. I don’t think I was disrespectful to anybody but if you look at the pictures… I know myself, I am 55 and the way I look at that moment is already worth a red card. It is a foul on Fabinho. The German should then return to his usual position for Saturday's trip to Nottingham Forest.
