Liverpool 1-1 Manchester City: Alexis Mac Allister penalty earns point for Reds

Liverpool and Manchester City fought out a thrilling draw at Anfield to leave Arsenal top of the Premier League.

This meeting of the pre-eminent domestic powers of recent years lived up to its billing in an encounter of the highest quality in which both sides had chances to claim a vital victory.

Manchester City took a 23rd-minute lead when a slick corner routine caught Liverpool cold and John Stones turned in Kevin de Bruyne's delivery at the near post.

City deserved the lead but were pegged back when they conceded a penalty only 84 seconds after the interval - Darwin Nunez was sent crashing to the ground by keeper Ederson after intercepting Nathan Ake's poor backpass.
