Liverpool started the game well, but allowed Manchester City back into the first half. A similar pattern followed in the second, before Ryan Gravenberch was harshly sent off, after getting a second yellow card for a light foul on Jeremy Doku; his first coming for clipping Elliot Anderson’s foot in the first half. Erling Haaland scored very soon after the red card, in 65 minutes, after a shot was blocked from Jeremy Doku. Ruben Dias gave another speech in a huddle after the goal in front of Man City’s travelling fans.Jon and Joe discuss the game and more.
