Manchester City was forced to settle for a draw at Anfield after hoping to steal Pep Guardiola’s first victory there.
After fighting to a draw at Liverpool, Manchester City demonstrated that they are prepared to fight to the very end for a record Premier League championship.
On Sunday morning, there were animals seen on the M62 heading to Liverpool. And, on the Anfield touchline, there was a wild scene when Kevin De Bruyne attacked Pep Guardiola and his coaching staff following a second-half substitution that the Belgian player didn’t seem to approve of. All parties involved possess the maturity to dismiss such actions as the mindset of champions. Although De Bruyne may not have recognized it at the moment, he undoubtedly observed as the modifications enabled City to secure a draw that might have otherwise eluded them.
City took the lead and had opportunities to win the game, but they will undoubtedly accept a point that keeps them in the running for the biggest awards at the conclusion of another captivating and taxing match. Liverpool will also gain confidence even though they came storming back into the game but were unable to capitalize enough to win.
