Trent Alexander-Arnold cancelled out Erling Haaland\u2019s 50th Premier League goal as Liverpool grabbed a point against champions and title rivals Manchester City on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The England international struck 10 minutes from the end of a tight encounter at the Etihad Stadium after Haaland\u2019s landmark strike looked like extending City\u2019s record home winning run.<\/p>\n
City had won their previous 23 games on home turf in all competitions, a running dating back to a visit from Everton on New Year\u2019s Eve last December.<\/p>\n
Alexander-Arnold\u2019s late equaliser also spared the blushes of goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who had a day to forget having gifted Haaland his opener and committed several other errors.<\/p>\n
Haaland had shown no mercy as he netted in the 27th minute, reaching his half-century of goals in the competition in just his 48th appearance, a new record.<\/p>\n
Alisson, who was in goal for Brazil in their controversial game against Argentina in Rio on Wednesday, looked sluggish from the start.<\/p>\n
He presented Phil Foden with an early opportunity when he gave the ball away but escaped as the England midfielder shot tamely.<\/p>\n
At the other end, Ederson palmed away a Darwin Nunez header but Alisson had another worrying moment when he dithered on a back pass and had to scramble clear under pressure from Haaland.<\/p>\n
Haaland made sure he was punished when he blundered again.<\/p>\n
Firstly Alisson slipped as he attempted to launch the ball upfield and found only Nathan Ake, who charged through some weak challenges to feed Haaland.<\/p>\n
The Norwegian scuffed his shot slightly but it was still too powerful for Alisson, whose weak hand to could not prevent it finding the bottom corner.<\/p>\n
Nunez hit the side-netting from a tight angle as Liverpool responded but the visitors were unable to consistently trouble City.<\/p>\n
The champions threatened again before the break but this time Alisson did well to push away a low effort from Foden.<\/p>\n
City went close again after the restart when Julian Alvarez spurned the chance by blazing over after good work by Jeremy Doku.<\/p>\n
Liverpool struggled to muster a meaningful threat with Virgil Van Dijk\u2019s header from a corner not troubling Ederson.<\/p>\n
Alisson was given a major reprieve after another howler. The Brazilian spilled the ball from a corner under little obvious pressure and Ruben Dias poked in but the goal was disallowed for a foul by Manuel Akanji.<\/p>\n
Liverpool made the most of the let-off to equalise on 80 minutes with Alexander-Arnold\u2019s fine strike.<\/p>\n
Mohamed Salah laid off on the edge of the box and the England international took a touch before drilling a shot across goal into the bottom corner. He celebrated by putting a finger to his lips in front of the City fans.<\/p>\n
City applied plenty of late pressure with Alisson, who appeared injured, struggling to clear his lines.<\/p>\n
Haaland almost grabbed a winner in the eighth and final minute of stoppage time but his glancing header flew narrowly wide.<\/p>\n
