Unlucky Liverpool at the end, I feel so much pity for Liverpool they did almost everything right until the ending minutes, mistakes and blunders but Manchester City did a good one coming back at the dead of time.
I’m not sure I was expecting that, I was already thinking Arsenal have gotten more distance between them.
Both teams played well today, it was what we expected a game between two top side should look like; entertainment, goals and drama at the end.

Absolutely disagreed. It's a pathetic performance by Liverpool. Their gameplay is so bang average in this game. They recorded no shoot during the first 25 minutes. Their goal was also coming from free-kick, not open play. So how can we call them play well in this game?
What they're doing the whole time is just jogging here and there. They played with no intensity and low ideas how to create chances. There's nothing positive can be taken from their gameplay.

I'm having this strong feelings that this dude Frank Ilett is shaving his hair comes this weekend, this guy Frank Ilett has vow never to shave his hair until Manchester United wins five games in a row and it's been almost a year or probably a year plus he refuse to shave and he has kept it growing for that long but I really think the time has come for him to cut it down because I don't really see Manchester United to lose to Westham after all the struggle they have been through with those big teams I don't see Westham to be a barrier, but Truth be told I admire his courage it's not really an easy task he's given upon himself.

If that's what the dude said then he will definitely have his hair cut this midweek because Man united will even win more than five matches in a row, Man united have already won four matches in a row and this includes Man city, Arsenal, Fulham and Tothenham then on Tuesday Man united will play west Ham which i don't think they will be difficult for Man united to eliminate.

I believe you maybe among those that was expecting Liverpool to win Manchester city but it doesn't go the way you think.There performance may not be that great but it is wrong to say that they didn't give there best in this match. Moreover the goal difference isn't that much. To me I believe they did there best, playing against Manchester city isn't an easy game. Even to Manchester city winning Liverpool in arnfield to them it is really a great victory and it wasn't as easy as you make it look

Finally Haaland has scored at Anfield since his arrival in the premier league, Haaland has scored in almost all the stadium he has played in, but somehow Anfield has been impenetrable for the prolific striker after several attempts the goal came at last when the team needed it most. He only not scored a goal today, he also gave an assist to Bernardo Silva for Manchester city equaliser. The Norwegian beast was so happy to have finally got the goal at Anfield, as he hit is iconic celebration.

This is to say that this match almost ended in a draw, or perhaps, some of us might want to say that Liverpool had a chance of possibly winning this match with the one goal they scored but unfortunately they weren't vigilant enough to tighten up their defense to avoid conceding goals from their opponent when getting in another goal on them proved abortive..

Anyways, congratulations to Manchester City, this is perhaps their second win in the last five matches and this brings them to 50 total earned points against Arsenal's 56 total earned points so far, 6 points gap isn't so much and Arsenal will have to sit up now and make sure they win their next match else, they risk having Manchester City having a great chance of taking their position very soon, I think things are beginning to heat up in the Premier league now.

Manchester City's victory after falling behind is a reflection of Liverpool's poor performance under Arne Slot's strategy this season. Szoboszlai was played further back, where Slot indirectly employed a 3-man defense strategy.
Slot should have implemented a counterattacking strategy when facing an open team like Manchester City.
Liverpool needs to prepare a replacement for Van Dijk because Van Dijk is no longer strong enough to be a solid defense.

If this situation continues, Liverpool will not compete in European competitions next season, and I believe Slot will not remain at Anfield for much longer.

Yes, on paper,  Man united is on fire and a much better team than West ham. But this is football where the outcome can go either way. Obviously, Man united is the stronger side and has a higher possibility of winning the game, I just need them to go into that game with the same pressure they've used in their recent games. I guess i don't want anything to jinx Man united winning the game later against West ham. It sure would be nice to have them win 5 consecutive games and perhaps, cause that dude to have a haircut as well.
It's not exactly a hard task either that he has put upon himself and to be honest, I don't really see what courage there is or to be admired. But to each his own, I guess. Fingers crossed for a Man united win.

I'm not happy that Liverpool allowed Manchester City to win the match tonight,  Liverpool should have considered the fact that their chance of qualifying for champions league next season is getting slim especially as Manchester United have strengthened their team and have take one slot for sure. Liverpool still have Chelsea to fight after Arsenal,  Manchester City,  Aston Villa and Manchester United have taken their slots. Assuming Liverpool dragged tonight match into a draw, that would have benefited them more than this outright loss.

But it was not all that bad, atleast I admired there translational plays Salah tried a little but it was not still enough, I knew they were going to lose this match against Man City I know City is lacking defensive but I honestly don't see Liverpool as a big threat although they needed the points to try to fight with Man United and Chelsea for a Champions League spot. Overall all as always I always tend to like Ekitike although he didn't score, I still liked some of his plays.

With the pressure I'm seeing Manchester united is playing with I don't think Westham will give Manchester united tough time. If Manchester united can win Arsenal, Manchester city Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur then i wonder what is it that Westham is playing that Manchester united won't be able to defeat them though in football it is not about the number of games you have win in a row or the kind of team you have win in a row because a club people don't expect can mess them up which is normal in football. But I'm sure that dude is gonna shave that hair.

Liverpool performance was very poor for me because if they really performed very good Manchester City won't have the chance to score back to back, and ends the game in 1-2 if not they disallowed goal the game should have ends 3_1 what a shameful match for Liverpool i didn't expect that Liverpool performance will be very poor this season because with how they perform last season and get the opportunity to top the league and still achieve the title, and the new season Liverpool have sigh some good players but still they are struggling to create challenges to score in the pitch. I think Liverpool just need to try and sigh new coach if they didn't get any title this season with Slot this time round. Guadiola have do well and is ready to chase the Premier League with Arsenal.

I’m so disappointed at Liverpool this match was a match I was expecting them to win, especially when they score the first goal but they decided to lose it because of some mistakes they were making it is a shame to them because the match was played at their home I wanted them to win the match so that Arsenal can give nine point gap to Manchester City but right now Arsenal is only gaping Manchester City with 6 point I still believe Arsenal will lift the league title no matter what Manchester City those they cannot prevent Arsenal from lifting the premier league trophy. I predicted Liverpool to win Manchester City and I have lost the bet I know others predicted Manchester City to win congratulations to them.

Westham should not be underrated especially Nuno Espirito but the edge Man United have over Westham is that they have a zeal  to beat the 5 games in a row but still Westham are fighting to get themselves off the relegation zone. Carrick said they would play the game like a Champions League game so that guy will cut his hair, so it will be fun.

Liverpool need more centre backs, Konate and VVD can not be trusted, those two players are not in good form and they need people that will compete with them, Liverpool need defensive players to be able to compete against big clubs in the league, Liverpool score a opening goal in the game and I thought they can win the game and give Arsenal the opportunity of winning the league but they couldn’t handle the pressure of Manchester City and they conceded two goals before the end of the game.

Now I can believe that Manchester City is still in the title race and they want to do everything to make sure that Arsenal will not win the league in an easy way, Arsenal should know that Manchester City will not want to give up, they want to keep fighting till the end of the season if Arsenal will make a mistake and drop a point, the title race is on and if Arsenal failed to win Premier League this season that means they can never win a trophy.

Since the game enter 90mint I think Liverpool will get three point and Arsenal will have more gaps in the league table but I see later Manchester City do comeback and get the opportunity to achieve the three point in the league competition, Liverpool really need more effort in the competition if they want to finish in top 4 in the league table this season and get the opportunity to play champions league next season. he as be long i see Liverpool impressed me in there match they played well and give the fans joy. I don't really know what is exactly problem of Liverpool this season with all the players they have currently they can't challenge any big club in the league so that they can rate them well.

Dominik Szoboszlai's stunning free-kick had them in the lead, but Manchester City's resilience paid off with Bernardo Silva's equalizer and Erling Haaland's stoppage-time penalty.

The game lived up to expectations -intense, entertaining, and dramatic. City's comeback keeps them in the title race, now six points behind Arsenal. Liverpool, meanwhile, remains in sixth, four points off fifth-placed Chelsea .
