Liverpool and its guest Manchester City ended in a 2-2 draw

Liverpool and its guest Manchester City ended in a 2-2 draw at the top of the seventh stage of the English Premier League, on Sunday.

At Anfield, Senegalese Sadio Mane (59) and Egyptian Mohamed Salah (76) scored the Liverpool double, while Phil Foden (69) and Belgium's Kevin De Bruyne (81) scored City's goals.

With this result, Liverpool raised its score to 15 points in second place, while Manchester City raised its score to 14 points in third place. Under the leadership of Spanish coaches Pep Guardiola and German Jurgen Klopp, Manchester City and Liverpool became the two dominant forces in English football, as they dominated the last four league titles, including three for Manchester City. Manchester City issued a stern warning to its title rivals, with Gal's victory over Chelsea 1-0 in the last stage, while Liverpool became the only team in the league so far that has not received any loss. But City could not repeat the scenario of last season, when he ended his long wait to win away from home to Liverpool and beat them 4-1 last February, but he has not won in front of an audience at Anfield since 2003. The start of the match was cautious, despite the relative control of Guardiola's men in the first half, which witnessed few opportunities to score, most notably in the 34th minute after Foden sent a cross from the left side, followed by De Bruyne, unattended, in the penalty area with a header next to the post. Klopp regrets, Guardiola satisfied

Liverpool began to return in the second half, starting with a powerful shot from the Portuguese Diogo Jota from the edge of the penalty area in the 50th minute, which was blocked by Braille goalkeeper Ederson. Liverpool managed to open the scoring after a quick start from Salah on the right side, before passing through the area to Mane, who was alone with Ederson and hit the net (59). Guardiola made the first substitution for City in the 66th minute by introducing Raheem Sterling at the expense of Jack Grealish, and Klopp followed by pushing the Brazilian Firmino at the expense of Jota. And City managed to equalize with a powerful ground kick from Foden (69). Liverpool returned to advance in the 76th minute, after Salah manipulated the defense before breaking into the penalty area and hitting a powerful ball into the net. And it was only five minutes until City snatched the equalizer, after De Bruyne hit a ball from the outskirts of the penalty area, collided with Cameroonian Joel Matip and deceived the Brazilian Alison and into the net. Klopp said after the match that "the level in the first half was very average from our side, maybe below average, we were very passive with and without the ball (...) The worst 45 minutes we played against them."

For his part, Guardiola said, "If I'm asked about the point we won, I'm obviously happy, and if I'm asked about the performance, I'm more than satisfied (...) We came back from 1-0 and 2-1 and the team showed great character."
