It has been all-action in the second-half so far. Liverpool are much more pro-active in this half and have taken regular shots at the goal. They have eight shots on the goal now with one on target. They will have to be more precise in keeping the balls inside the goal for a chance to have a lead. They could take the lead in the second-half on various occasions.

An absolutely brilliant goal from Dominik Szoboszlai. Stands on a free-kick from a dangerous position and nails the outswinging shot straight at the left of the goalkeeper. Donnarumma had nothing to do as the ball found itself at the back of the net. Liverpool were growing their authority in the game and now they are ahead.

Manchester City found the much-needed equaliser. They were building up the pressure on the Liverpool goal by holding possession around it. Finally, Bernardo Silva times his run brilliantly to get to the end of a flick on header from Erling Haaland and puts the ball in. Well-deserved goal for Man City.

Erling Haaland finds the back of the net in the injury time. He earns Manchester City a lead by converting a penalty and this goal is likely to be the winner. Matheus Nunes was through to the goal and he dinked the ball before an advancing Alisson clattered with him. Referee pointed to the spot and Haaland got the ball past the outstretched hands of Allisson to give Man City the much-wanted lead.

Drama at the dying minutes of the game! Gigi Donnarumma makes an incredible save to keep a ball out of the goal and then Alisson moves up the pitch to take chance of a corner. Liverpool try to get through but Man City play the ball out and Ryan Cherki holds his own to place the ball into the empty Liverpool goal. Meanwhile, referee is checking VAR for a potential intervention. Manchester City has confirmed the win here.

The goal is disallowed. More drama. Referee check the VAR and shows a red card to Dominik Szoboszlai. Still a difference of one goal between the two sides. Ryan Cherki misses the free-kick.

A win for Manchester City. A dramatic end to end encounter finally comes to an end. The second-half saw a lot of action with Liverpool enforcing themselves on Manchester City after having an underwhelming first half. Dominik Szoboszlai scored a brilliant free-kick and for a time it looked like Liverpool will take the win. But eventually, Bernardo Silva found the equaliser and the dramatic end saw Erling Haaland score a penalty, which ended up being the winner. In the dying minutes, Ryan Cherki's goal was disallowed and Szoboszlai was shown a red card.
