Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane accused the Manchester City players of ‘disrespecting’ Liverpool after their incredible win at Anfield.
Man City were heading for one more disappointing lead to the Premier League title race after Dominik Szoboszlai scored a superb free-kick to interrupt the deadlock.
Pep Guardiola’s side were facing a nine-point deficit to title rivals Arsenal with just ten minutes remaining at Anfield before scoring two late goals to possibly keep the title race alive.
Bernardo Silva equalised within the 84th minute and Erling Haaland converted an injury-time penalty after Matheus Nunes was fouled by Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker.
The incredible turnaround means Manchester City are again just six points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal with 13 games remaining.
Man City celebrated wildly with the away fans each after Haaland’s late winner and after the full-time whistle and their celebrations continued within the dressing room.
Music was heard blaring out of the Man City changing room while Liverpool manager Arne Slot and Anfield captain Virgil van Dijk held their post-match interviews.

‘They were superb, when it comes to football in the primary half. We’ve been critical of this team during the last 18 months due to the standards City have set and this team haven’t really reached it but today within the second half they showed desire, quality.
‘It’s greater than three points. Psychologically it’s an enormous lift – and a little bit of a hammer blow for Arsenal.
‘They still have a pleasant lead but to see City go a goal down after which for them to get three points, it’s huge.’
