Carabao Cup Liverpool vs Manchester City Highlights, Results, Teams And What’s Next
When Erling Haaland was let through by Ilkay Gundogan in the first minute, that was the time of a powerful City’s great start. The Norwegian sprinted for the ball but fluffed his initial attempt, sending it far into the South Stand. Just a few minutes later, our No. 9 slipped past the Liverpool back line once more and squared for Cole Palmer, who was unable to direct his shot goalward.
In the early going, City effortlessly cut through Liverpool’s defence, and it seemed as though a goal would eventually be scored. It came as no surprise that Kevin De Bruyne and Haaland, who have a deadly connection on the pitch, scored the goal with just 10 seconds remaining in the game.
In the 10th minute, Erling Haaland scored his 24th goal of the year to give Manchester City the lead. However, midway through the first half, Liverpool equalised through Fabio Carvalho. Just one minute into the second half, Riyad Mahrez gave City the lead back, but the Blues were immediately hit again, this time by Mo Salah’s left foot was the reason. Nathan Ake’s decisive header shortly past the hour mark gave City the victory. The draw means that the City will visit Southampton for the quarterfinal match in the new year.

Before surpassing himself with the exquisite pass for Nathan Ake’s game-winning goal in the second half, his cross for Erling Haaland gave the Blues an early boost.
