Salah’s sorcery not sufficient for Liverpool to get the most of the second-half rollercoaster against City

What a game, and what a magician Mo Salah really is!Liverpool and Manchester City draw 2-2 in one of the most thrilling games of the Premier League 2021/2022 season.Liverpool 2-2 Manchester City pic.twitter.com/eiuxAmULKY— Futbol de Inglaterra  (@Mercado_Ingles) October 3, 2021 If the game would last only 45 minutes, we could talk about Manchester City’s almost unprecedented dominance. They had it all in the first half, except for the most important thing in a football game – goals.Liverpool were struggling even to get a hold on it, let alone create some chances in front of Ederson’s backyard. Still, it didn’t hurt them since City failed to invade them properly and go at least one up before the break.What they missed in the first period, the hosts wouldn’t repeat in the second.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Diogo Jota created himself Liverpool’s maiden opportunity of the game a few minutes into the second period and, with it, suggested what kind of game we’re heading into. Soon, Salah, with his out-of-this-world skills, put Liverpool in front and made sure to keep them there for good.Fabinho gave him the ball on the left, and the Egyptian made his first giant slalom of the game, providing Sadio Mane with a perfect situation to break the deadlock, which he did for 1-0. What a goal from Sadio Mane😍Liverpool takes the lead against Manchester City#LIVMCI pic.twitter.com/qNxw5MoPgx— Jitu Biswas (@JituBiswasaadhf) October 3, 2021 The ecstatic crowd at Anfield were still celebrating Mane’s opener when City bounced back via prodigious Fodden. The young winger received the ball on the left flank and placed it smoothly in the far bottom corner.But Salah was having none of it. The African gem repeated his last stroll and scored one of the most stunning goals of the year. A bit of that Maradona’s ilk was seen when he marched through the entire opposing defence to put his side in front again.

However, it was not enough for the win. Guardiola’s outfit never surrenders, and they were following that pattern today. Until then, a bit shy De Bruyne finally stepped up ten minutes before the end. His shot was very accurate, but Allison would have saved it if not for Matip, who changed the ball’s direction and helped City tie the game at two for the final 2-2.Manchester City takes an equalizer again, Liverpool 2-2 Manchester City, Kevin De Bruyne⚽ pic.twitter.com/EqFr0udlNn— Football Warehouse (@ftballwarehouse) October 3, 2021 PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 7SaturdayMan Utd – Everton 1-1 (1-0)/Martial 43 – Townsend 65/Chelsea – Southampton 3-1 (1-0)/Chalobah 9, Werner 84, Chilwell 89 – Ward-Prowse 61 pen/Burnley – Norwich 0-0Leeds Utd – Watford 1-0 (1-0)/Llorente 18/Wolverhampton – Newcastle Utd 2-1 (1-1)/Hwang 20, 58 – Hendrick 41/Brighton – Arsenal 0-0SundayCrystal Palace – Leicester 2-2 (0-2)/Olise 61, Schlupp 72 – Iheanacho 31, Vardy 37/Tottenham – Aston Villa 2-1 (1-0)/Hojbjerg 27, Targett 71 og – Watkins 67/West Ham – Brentford 1-2 (0-1)/Bowen 80 – Mbeumo 20, Wissa 90+4/Liverpool – Man City 2-2 (0-0)/Mane 59, Salah 76 – Fodden 69, De Bruyne 81/
