A sensational finale! Referee disallows Cherki's midfield goal and sends off Szoboszlai for blatant foul on Haaland

Manchester City pulled off a stunning comeback victory away against Liverpool.

The match at Anfield was a true thriller, keeping fans on the edge of their seats until the very last moments. The drama peaked in stoppage time, when Haaland coolly converted a penalty to give the Citizens a 2-1 lead.

Liverpool threw everything forward, with Alisson abandoning his goal to join the attack after a set piece. Guardiola's men seized the ball, and Rayan Cherki launched it from midfield into the empty net. Haaland, tussling with Szoboszlai, raced to finish the move, but the Hungarian midfielder committed an obvious foul to prevent the goal.
