Pep Guardiola\u2019s team wanted all three points away from home to bridge the gap between league leaders Arsenal. The match didn\u2019t produce many entertaining moments in the first half, but the second half\u2019s play was everything you would call complete entertainment. Liverpool opened the scoring at Anfield, with City claiming one back through their captain, and then with Haaland scoring a penalty. More drama unfolded in the added extra time when City thought they had scored a third through Rayan Cherki, only for it to be disallowed for a foul committed by Szoboszlai on Haaland in the build-up, who ended up getting a red card as a result.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here\u2019s the complete match report!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> <div class=\"fastest-hd-btn\">\n <a class=\"hd-conter-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/fastestvpn.com\/lifetime-special-deals?a_aid=634829be4d0b2\" title=\"Get FastestVPN\">Get FastestVPN <i class=\"fa fa-hand-o-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Match Information<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Date: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">February 8, 2026<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Day: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sunday<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Venue: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anfield, Liverpool, England, United Kingdom<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Attendance: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">60,336<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Score: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Liverpool 1 &#8211; 2 Manchester City<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Referee: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Craig Pawson<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Broadcast: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Peacock<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Liverpool vs Man City Match Report<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Not an extraordinary first half<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The City and Liverpool fixture has been one of the most entertaining battles in the Premier League in recent times. This game, however, missed that flair in the opening 45 minutes of the game, with a few fruitless attacking opportunities coming from City\u2019s side.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Szoboszlai opens the scoring<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Hungarian captain opened the scoring for Liverpool after he converted yet another free-kick from the spot with his knuckleball technique. The game looked like it was in control of the home side.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Bernardo claps back<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">City captain Bernardo Silva was quick to equalize for the visitors when he hit a perfect shot in the 84th minute. City were back in the game as of this instance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Haaland at the double<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">8 minutes later, City won a penalty, and it was Erling Haaland to fulfil the duties. As calm as the Norwegian likes it, he thumped one in the bottom corner and finally scored at Anfield, the one stadium he had yet to score at since signing for Man City.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Second half shenanigans<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The game was far from over when the second-half shenanigans began in the additional time. On a Liverpool set piece, Man City launched a counterattack with Haaland and Cherki leading the attack. The Frenchman launched a shot from the halfway line that saw the ball in the back of the net. Just moments later, Szoboszlai had tried to block the ball from entering the goal, but as he attempted to do so, he had pulled Haaland\u2019s shirt in the build-up, with Haaland doing the same to the Hungarian. Craig Pawson, after a brief conversation with VAR, showed a red card to the Hungarian Captain and chalked off City off their third goal at Anfield. The game ended 2-1 in favor of the visitors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Liverpool vs Man City 2025-26: Stats Center<\/b><\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Liverpool<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Match Stats<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Man City<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">15 (5)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>Shots (shots on target)<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">16 (7)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">46<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>Possession (%)<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">54<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">342<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>Passes<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">421<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">83<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>Pass Accuracy (%)<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">84<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">12<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>Fouls<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">16<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>Yellow Cards<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>Red Cards<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">6<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>Offsides<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">5<\/span><\/td>\n<td><b>Corners<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">4<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><b>Liverpool vs Manchester City Lineups: Feb 8, 2026<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Liverpool<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alisson Becker (GK)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dominik Szoboszlai<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ibrahima Konate<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Virgil Van Dijk (C)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Milos Kerkez (sub.

winning goal in front of the Kop, his first at Anfield. Dominik Szoboszlai did his best to give Liverpool the early lead in the second half and make the most of his shift at the right-back position; however, he could only do so for a couple of minutes after giving his team the lead as Bernardo and Haaland scored in quick succession. He later got a red card on the night, which will see him miss the next game in the Premier League. Don\u2019t miss the epic Premier League action while traveling abroad.
