Liverpool Man City Haaland fastest 50 Premier League goals

Liverpool snaps City's 23-game winning streak with 1-1 draw. Juergen Klopp's team stays a point behind Premier League leaders.

In a thrilling match at the Etihad Stadium, Liverpool managed to snap Manchester City's remarkable 23-game winning streak with an 80th-minute goal from Trent Alexander-Arnold, securing a 1-1 draw and keeping Juergen Klopp's team just one point behind the league leaders in the intense Premier League title race.

The defending champions took the lead in the first half when Erling Haaland scored his 50th league goal, becoming the quickest player to reach this milestone. However, Liverpool capitalized on a missed opportunity by Haaland and immediately went on the attack, resulting in Alexander-Arnold's crucial equalizer past City goalkeeper Ederson.

This draw marked the end of a remarkable winning streak for Pep Guardiola's City at the Etihad Stadium across all competitions. With 29 points after 13 games, City tops the table, closely followed by Liverpool with 28 points.

The intense title race in the Premier League adds to the excitement, with Arsenal having the chance to claim the top spot if they secure a victory against Brentford later in the day.

Haaland's opening goal, scored from the edge of the box, came after Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson misjudged a clearance, allowing Nathan Ake to intercept and set up the Norwegian forward. This historic goal broke the record previously held by former Manchester United and Newcastle striker Andy Cole, reaching 50 goals in just 48 games.

The match was filled with excitement and anticipation, with Haaland's father, former City player Alf-Inge, celebrating joyously from the executive seats. However, despite giving City the lead, Haaland's missed opportunity in the second half allowed Liverpool to capitalize and secure a crucial point in the title race.
