Liverpool and Manchester City had a 1-1 draw at Anfield, making the Premier League title race more difficult than ever.

 John Stones' first-half goal was canceled out by Alexis Mac Allister's penalty shortly after the break, leaving Arsenal to finish the weekend in first place on goal difference.

 We summarize the main talking points from another epic encounter between two old enemies.

 Right on the money De money While Liverpool appeared to have weathered the early storm, they fell behind thanks to Man City's skillful corner-taking habits.

 Kevin De Bruyne - who is often open when the champions need him - expertly carries a low pass to the near post, where Stones looks unmarked to score his first goal of the season .

 It was a routine that clearly entailed multiple training sessions, with Pep Guardiola immediately nominating his coach Carlos Vicens to the away team's bench.

 Even by his high standards, De Bruyne's impact since his return from injury has been sublime.

 No Premier League player can better the Belgian's 13 goals (2 goals, 11 assists) in all competitions so far in 2024.

 Crazy moments crazy After the first half passed with minimal noise, City's shot found itself underneath in spectacular fashion two minutes into the second half.

  Nathan Ake's usually reliable backpass was easily intercepted by Darwin Nunez, who was then viciously attacked by Ederson for the most blatant of penalties.

 Alexis Mac Allister, who took the penalty while Mohamed Salah remained on the bench, had a three-minute wait while the Brazilian goalkeeper received medical attention.

 However, the break did nothing to stop the Argentine, who scored his 10th goal in English football (in 11 attempts) from equalizing.
