Man City missed the opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League after Liverpool came from behind to earn a draw at Etihad Stadium.
The reigning champions opened the scoring in the 27th minute when Erling Haaland benefited from Liverpool goalkeeper’s poor clearance.
With the goal, the Norwegian became the fastest player to reach 50 Premier League goals in 48 matches.
Ruben Dias thought he had added to City’s tally later on, only to see his goal ruled out for a foul on Red’s goalie, Alisson.
