Manchester City kept the heat on Arsenal in the Premier League title race with a dramatic victory at Liverpool. Pep Guardiola's men came from behind to win at Anfield to move six points behind the league leaders.

Dominik Szoboszlai's free-kick put the home side ahead, but City responded in style with Bernardo Silva levelling and Erling Haaland converting from the penalty spot. Rayan Cherki had a goal ruled out later on, as Szoboszlai was sent off.

Alongside the big three points, City received a massive boost as Ruben Dias made his return from injury. However, Abdukodir Khusanov was forced off as a concussion substitute after being caught in the face by Gianluigi Donnarumma.
