Follow Daily Mail Sport's coverage as Manchester City hosts Liverpool at the Etihad in the Premier League.
Penalty Decision
After a lengthy review, referee Chris Kavanagh awarded a penalty. He said,
“After review the goalkeeper creates a foul challenge on the attacker. Final decision is penalty.”
This is a tough moment for Liverpool. Mamardashvili had clipped Doku with his knee, preventing a clear shot.
Key Moments
- Huge relief for Liverpool as they initially defend a break, with Konate stepping in, but a deflection off Bradley allows Doku through.
- Doku tries to bypass Mamardashvili, who then falls.
- Cherki's effort is blocked and Liverpool clears, though VAR reviews the incident extensively.
- Manchester City quickly counter with Foden feeding Doku, who returns the ball, but Foden loses control and Van Dijk clears effectively.
Early Match Impression
Manchester City started brightly, playing narrowly similar to their approach last week against Bournemouth. Salah received a long ball, but strong defending from Dias stopped the Egyptian forward.
