Silva Feared Title Race Was over Before Late Comeback
Manchester City rallied from a goal down with Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland scoring late to maintain hopes of the Premier League title, six points behind Arsenal.
- On Sunday, Manchester City came from behind to beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield, their second win in seven games, with Guardiola not getting carried away, as he said.
- After Arsenal beat Sunderland on Saturday, City went into the game nine points behind and Bernardo Silva feared the title race would be over if they lost.
- Trailing 1-0 with six minutes left, City rallied as Bernardo Silva equalised on 84 minutes from Haaland's header, then Haaland converted a stoppage-time penalty after Matheus Nunes was fouled by Alisson.
- The win moved City back within six points of Arsenal with 13 games remaining, and Pep Guardiola said `Six points is better than nine, but it's still a lot considering how strong Arsenal are in all departments`.
- Rayan Cherki had a stoppage-time goal ruled out after play was pulled back for a foul on Haaland by Dominik Szoboszlai, who was sent off, and Liverpool head coach Arne Slot said added-time goals have cost his side eight points this season.
