LONDON, Apr 10 (US): Such intensity, such good margins but nothing has been set. However, the destination of the Premier League title is still in the hands of Manchester City.
A point separates City and Liverpool at the top of the standings after the two best teams in England finished 2-2 for the second time this season on Sunday, according to the Associated Press.
For most of the season, Liverpool were in recovery mode. Sadio Mane’s equalizer 47 seconds into the second half on his 30th birthday took back the point that prevented City’s lead, and kept the title race very alive.
The ferocity of the first half showed why defending champions City took a 14-point lead in January, as well as why the rivalry between the title winners continues in 2020.
For all the high-quality moments, there were also errors that could ensue.
After Liverpool striker Diogo Jota called off Kevin De Bruyne’s opener in the fifth minute after eight minutes, City goalkeeper Ederson slipped when he tried to block a Kyle Walker back pass but recovered in time.
In the first half, City went ahead after Gabriel Jesus overcame the offside trap to get Joao Cancelo’s cross to score his first league goal in 16 games.
But whatever Jurgen Klopp said to the Liverpool players in the first half, he succeeded. From the start of the second half, Trent Alexander-Arnold played in Mohamed Salah and the pass fell to Mane for a shot over City goalkeeper Ederson.
City coach Pep Guardiola fell on his cushioned seat. Full time – after City’s substitute Riyad Mahrez hit the ball – there was a cuddle with Klopp.
