The big winner after this weekend was instead Arsenal, who decided late against Brentford yesterday.
Manchester City took the lead after an early goal by John Stones. But a hard tackle by Ederson on Darwin Nunez earned Liverpool a penalty.
It put Alexis MacAllister safely. 1-1 in a match with many situations – both situations and disputed decisions.
In stoppage time, Liverpool called for a penalty again, when Jeremy Doku went high with the studs in a situation with Mac Allister. However, the referee chose to propose and the match ended in a draw.
– That is a misdemeanor on all parts of the plan. They say he hits the ball, but if the ball isn’t there, he kills him. It was one hundred percent punishment. It’s obviously a penalty but we didn’t get it, says Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp.
Arsenal thus tops the league, thanks to a better goal difference than second-placed Liverpool. City are one point behind.
