After a vibrant UEFA Champions League matchday in midweek, the resumption of the Premier League had a surprising result, where pundits and bookmakers were wrong in predicting Manchester City's win over a Liverpool side that came in as a victim of the multiple losses recorded in recent days, such as the recent loss of Ibrahima Konaté.

Superstar Mohamed Salah's goal silenced the Reds' mouths and gave them three points that catapulted them into eighth place and also indirectly kept Arsenal in the lead, four points clear of their closest challengers the Sky Blues, who found their powder keg in striker Erling Haaland, who again struggled against the Reds' fierce defence.

The Norwegian disappointed at Anfield, as he is the current Premier League goalscorer with 15 goals, and could do little against the wall of Virgil Van Dijk, Joe Gomez, James Milner and the return to the starting eleven in the League of Andrew Robertson, who combined to stop the attacks of Pep Guardiola's team, who despite having the highest percentage of possession and shots on goal, did not pierce Alisson's goal.

Manchester City had yet another clean sheet in attack after a surprise midweek draw in Denmark against Copenhagen FC, with Haaland on the bench, who had been kept on especially for this game against Liverpool. The 22-year-old striker was again frustrated by his second clean sheet against Liverpool, having faced them in the Community Shield final.

Haaland has a scare against Liverpool

Haaland left Germany and arrived in Manchester where he became the Citizens' new signing for 55 million euros and in his first official match in the Citizens' shirt against Liverpool, and although he played the full 90 minutes at Wembley, he was unable to score against them, and after almost 3 months Erling was again left without a goal, with Liverpool being the headache for the number '9', who has found the measure of him.
