Liverpool vs. Manchester City result: Alisson gaffes doom Reds
A pair of mistakes by goalkeeper Alisson was the difference as Liverpool fell 4-1 at home to Manchester City on Sunday.
Ilkay Gundogan and Raheem Sterling were the beneficiaries of Alisson's blunders, which came at 73 and 76 minutes, respectively, after the teams were tied 1-1 and seemingly on the way to a draw. Gundogan also had a 49th-minute strike as he redeemed a first-half penalty miss, while Phil Foden added an exclamation mark to City's victory seven minutes from full time.
Liverpool managed to keep things interesting for most of the match, with Mo Salah's emphatic penalty putting the teams on level terms just after the hour mark. Still, City's opportunism combined with Alisson's ill-fated giveaways were the story of the match.
The result sees City go five points clear at the top of the Premier League standings, while fourth-place Liverpool missed an excellent opportunity to make up ground on the teams ahead of them.
