Erling Haaland makes history but Alexander-Arnold hits back to rescue Liverpool

Trent Alexander-Arnold struck to cancel out Erling Haaland’s 50th Premier League goal as Liverpool snatched a point against Manchester City following a 1-1 draw on Saturday.

The Reds right-back struck 10 minutes from the end of a tense game at the Etihad Stadium after Haaland’s goal looked like earning City all three points.

City had won their previous 23 games on their home turf in all competitions, a run dating back to a visit from Everton on New Year’s Eve, 2022.

Alexander-Arnold’s equaliser also spared the blushes of goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who had a nightmare performance, including gifting Haaland his opener among several other major errors.

"We haven’t had too many good results here in general. It’s a point gained," said Alexander-Arnold. "It wasn’t an amazing performance from us at all, but we take the point. There were positives – we had chances to win the game.

"I don’t think we played particularly well. Their formation and the way they set up really challenged us. We regrouped at half-time and came out with a bit more of a game plan to press them. It’s difficult subconsciously when you play against Man City – you can’t really get tight to them or stand off them.

"There was potentially a game plan to stop me from getting the ball in midfield. I think Bernardo [Silva] was very close to me when I was pulling inside. It was about getting on the ball in different ways and getting us up the pitch. We did that especially well in the second half."
