Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Liverpool FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 6' GOAL! Fabinho fires home to make it 1-0!
- 11' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kyle Walker made 439 appearances and scored 6 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 13' Assisted by Andrew Robertson with the perfectly-timed delivery and Mohamed Salah makes no mistake. 2-0!
- 18' Raheem Sterling has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 23' Georginio Wijnaldum is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Liverpool FC so far.
- 28' Fernandinho has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 33' Manchester City FC has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.
- 38' It looks surprising Manchester City FC does not make any changes. Bernardo Silva has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 43' Manchester City FC is showing some good football. However, Manchester City FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 48' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester City FC that had 439 games and scored 1028 goals.
- 51' Magnificent from Sadio Mane! That is 110 goals in 412 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 56' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 61' Liverpool FC ring the changes. Jordan Henderson has done his job and it is now time for James Milner to step up.
- 65' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Rodri on 65 minutes.
- 70' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Trent Alexander-Arnold suffering a number of foals already.
- 71' A tactical swap from Manchester City FC — Gabriel Jesus on, Sergio Aguero off on 71 minutes.
- 76' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 78' A stunning finish from Bernardo Silva — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 79' A tactical swap from Liverpool FC — Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on, Roberto Firmino off on 79 minutes.
- 84' Supporters expect more eagerness from Roberto Firmino, as he is very good at scoring at Anfield with 26 goals in the last 17 games.
- 87' Liverpool FC ring the changes. Mohamed Salah has done his job and it is now time for Joe Gomez to step up.
- 90' That is a Yellow card for Manchester City FC. Gabriel Jesus will be fuming at that decision.
- 3-1 the final result. Manchester City FC will be bitterly disappointed.
