Manchester City kept their Premier League title hopes alive with a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Liverpool at Anfield. Erling Haaland scored the winning penalty in stoppage time after creating Bernardo Silva's 84th-minute equalizer, overturning Dominik Szoboszlai's stunning free-kick opener. The victory cuts City's deficit to league leaders Arsenal to six points while leaving Liverpool outside the Champions League positions.

The result represents a significant psychological blow for Liverpool, who had dominated much of the match before City's late surge. Haaland's performance epitomized his game-changing ability - the Norwegian had been largely anonymous until producing two decisive moments in the final 10 minutes. His penalty was City's first league goal at Anfield since 2003, marking a historic victory at Liverpool's fortress.

For Liverpool, the defeat compounds their season of decline. The Reds have now conceded six goals after the 90th minute this season, all in one-goal losses or draws. Mohamed Salah and Alisson Becker, once the bedrock of Liverpool's success against City, showed signs of diminishing influence. Szoboszlai's red card for denying Haaland a clear goalscoring opportunity made the loss even more costly for Arne Slot's side, who now face a five-point gap to fourth place.

Quick Fact: Manchester City's last Premier League victory at Anfield came in 2003.
