Mohamed Salah’s stunning second-half goal saw Liverpool beat Manchester City 1-0 in another Premier League classic between the teams at a raucous Anfield.
A 75th-minute winner that echoed Salah’s famous strike against Manchester United in January 2020, with Alisson Becker’s pinpoint pass being finished beautifully, settled a dramatic and eventful contest between the division’s pre-eminent forces over recent seasons.
It came after Phil Foden had seen a goal disallowed following a VAR review and before Jürgen Klopp was sent off as the atmosphere reached boiling point.
A tense final 15 minutes followed Salah’s moment of brilliance, but the Reds held firm to record an excellent, and much-needed, win.
