Erling Haaland on disallowed Man City goal: 'Give the goal and don't give red cards, simple as that'

"A dramatic late turnaround at Anfield saw Haaland inspire City to a crucial 2-1 win over Arne Slot's team that kept the Premier League title race alive. Liverpool appeared to be on course to earning all three points thanks to Szoboszlai's stunning free kick before Haaland claimed an assist and then a 93rd-minute winner from the penalty spot to reel in Arsenal's lead at the top."

"I think just for me, of course, the referee has to follow the rules, but this will give him three games. In the end, I feel bad for him because if he gets three games... Just give the goal and don't give red cards, simple as that. But I think it's the rules and this is just how it is."

"I feel the whole team knew before the game that if we lost this game, probably that the title race is over, They're still in a much better position than us, but we felt like we needed to win this game. So obviously that puts us a bit closer. The hope is there. We're going to fight until the end, but six points, it's still six points. So we're happy, but we need to do our job, keep doing our job, which we haven't lately."

A late turnaround at Anfield saw Manchester City win 2-1 after Erling Haaland assisted and then scored a 93rd-minute penalty to overturn Liverpool. Dominik Szoboszlai had given Liverpool the lead with a stunning free kick, but was later sent off after a late tussle with Haaland that prompted VAR to intervene and a late Rayan Cherki goal to be disallowed. Haaland criticized the intervention and expressed sympathy for the player facing a multi-match ban. The victory reduces Arsenal's lead to six points, and Bernardo Silva said the team must keep fighting to remain in the title race.
