Liverpool rue costly mistakes, Viktor Gy?keres builds up a head of steam and Rayan gets the hype train chugging
Arne Slot was close to landing a coup against Pep Guardiola, the coach he admires most. Then came more of the individual errors that have ruined Liverpool?s title defence. Aching weaknesses within Slot?s squad were exposed again. Dominik Szoboszlai playing Bernardo Silva onside for Manchester City?s equaliser was an error midfielders playing full-back will make. Szoboszlai?s late red card was, though, foolish. Alisson?s foul on Matheus Nunes for Erling Haaland?s decisive penalty was another rush of blood. Liverpool?s huge summer spend was motivated by their executives? belief in buying the best individuals to unlock the Premier League?s tactical cages. City?s key individuals showed such a policy can pay off, with Silva inspirational, Gianluigi Donnarumma making the save that sparked the game?s chaotic final scenes, Marc Gu?hi looking an astute defensive signing and Haaland supplying Silva?s goal. City had been unconvincing but their mentality held, allowing them to eventually profit from Hugo Ekitik??s misses and the waning of Mohamed Salah. John Brewin
