Liverpool's Next Five Premier League Fixtures Compared to Top-Four Rivals After Man City Defeat

Haaland’s stoppage-time penalty secured Manchester City's first Anfield win since 2003, keeping them six points behind Arsenal with 13 games left in the Premier League title race.

  • On February 8, 2026, Erling Haaland converted a stoppage-time penalty to give Manchester City a 2-1 win at Anfield after seven minutes were added.
  • Referee Craig Pawson awarded the spot‑kick in stoppage time after Alisson clattered into Matheus Nunes, who beat the goalkeeper to the ball.
  • Haaland, who had not scored an open‑play Premier League goal since December 20, held his nerve and scored a late penalty at Anfield.
  • With the victory, Manchester City remains nine points behind Arsenal and secured their first Anfield win before a crowd since 2003.
  • A sequence of late twists produced a ludicrous ending as VAR reviewed a 12 added minutes psychodrama, disallowing Rayan Cherki's finish and sending off Dominik Szoboszlai for denying a goalscoring opportunity.
