Man City Thrills at Anfield with Comeback Win, Keeps Premier League Title Hopes Alive
In a dramatic Premier League clash on Sunday, **Manchester City battled back from behind to secure a vital 2-1 victory against Liverpool at Anfield, a result that keeps their Premier League title hopes alive deep into the season.
Liverpool looked on course for victory after Dominik Szoboszlai opened the scoring with a sensational free-kick midway through the second half, giving the hosts the lead and placing intense pressure on Pep Guardiola’s side.
However, City refused to fold. Bernardo Silva drew the visitors level late in the game with a close-range finish after a well-worked play sparked by Erling Haaland, injecting renewed belief into the reigning champions’ quest for the title.
The winner arrived in stoppage time, when Haaland coolly converted a penalty after Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker was ruled to have fouled Matheus Nunes inside the box — a moment that sparked huge relief among the City players and fans.
The victory is significant not only for the three points but also for City’s momentum heading into the final stretch of the Premier League season. It keeps them within striking distance of league leaders, ensuring that the title race remains fiercely contested.
For Liverpool, the defeat is a bitter blow at Anfield and raises questions about their consistency in a campaign where every point matters in the race for top honours.
