Erling Haaland has questioned the video assistant referee's decision to disallow Manchester City's late goal against Liverpool and send off Dominik Szoboszlai in a dramatic 2-1 victory at Anfield. The Norwegian striker argued that VAR should have simply awarded the goal rather than issuing a red card, saying 'just give the goal and don't give red cards, simple as that.'

The controversial incident occurred during a crucial Premier League clash that kept City's title hopes alive. Szoboszlai had given Liverpool the lead with a stunning free kick before Haaland assisted and converted a 93rd-minute penalty to secure the win. The victory cut Arsenal's lead at the top of the table to six points after Mikel Arteta's side had stretched their advantage to nine points following a 3-1 win over Sunderland.

City's triumph marked their first back-to-back league victories over Liverpool in 89 years and their first win at Anfield since 2021. Bernardo Silva admitted the team knew they had to win to keep the title race alive, acknowledging that 'if we lost this game, probably that the title race is over.' The result leaves City six points behind leaders Arsenal with crucial fixtures ahead.

Quick Fact: Manchester City's win at Anfield was their first since 2021.
