"Gerard's long shot was brilliantly saved by Hart! Hart looks to be in good form today. Liverpool looks like they need to put in more effort to break through Manchester City's goal today. "
Liverpool's first attack from a corner kick, Gerard ran to take the corner kick.
Liverpool's attacking players in the backfield came up to fight for a header in the penalty area.
Gerard's corner kick landed well, right in front of the goal where it would be awkward for the goalkeeper to attack.
Thiago Silva got rid of Lescott's defense and grabbed the landing spot. He jumped and headed the ball towards the goal.
Unfortunately, the header was a little right and the football was blocked by Hart's outstretched right hand!
The Manchester City fans who came to Anfield applauded Hart's consecutive saves.
"Hart once again bravely blocked Liverpool's sure goal! Thiago Silva almost scored with a header! Manchester City … counterattack! Nasri passed the ball to the right in front of the penalty area. Milner quickly kicked the ball across the midfield with a big stride. Liverpool's rear defensive line is in danger! "
Manchester City's wave of counterattack really caught Liverpool off guard.
First of all, the defense switched between offense and defense at the right time. Secondly, the speed of the advance. Milner went forward on the right side and directly left Liverpool's sporadic defensive players behind.
Only Mascherano, Skrtel, and Baines were left in the rear defensive line.
Milner did not wait for Baines to close in and snatch the ball after he came to the front of the field. He passed the ball to the middle.
David Silva followed up and controlled the ball here. Mascherano was already going to foul.
But David Silva did not give him the chance. Silva's foot was close to the ground and sent the ball to Agüero's feet in front of the penalty area.
Agüero cut inside on the left side in front of the penalty area. Skrtel lowered his center of gravity to defend. But when the two men were one-on-one, Agüero was more flexible when he dunked the ball into the penalty area. Skrtel was shaken by Agüero!
Agüero went into the game alone!
Reina left the goal and ran two steps before Agüero calmly shot the ball to the bottom right corner of the goal, the far corner!
Reina could not make a save. He turned his head and watched in disbelief as the football rolled into Liverpool's goal!
After Agüero broke through the goal, he roared as he charged towards the side of the field. Mancini, who was on the sidelines, clenched his fist and waved it fiercely.
"Manchester City is the first to break through at Anfield! The success of the corner kick defense gave Manchester City a very good chance to fight back. They did a great job of switching between offense and defense. Then the attack pushed to the front field. The football was quickly passed and finally came to Agüero's feet.
The Argentinian striker bypassed Skrtel in a one-on-one and then scored with a shot!
Manchester City took the lead in the battle for the top of the league!
It's really unexpected. "
"We have to admit that Manchester City's offensive and defensive systems are very mature this season. I dare not say how good their defense is, but at least they have mastered some of the basic offensive routines. For a chance to fight back like this, the top teams should be able to play well. With Manchester City's strength on paper, they should also be able to do well. Now they have achieved this. As for positional play or other different game environments, everyone knows how capable they are. But they are already very mature in the most basic things."
The Liverpool players were a little angry when they saw the team concede the goal.
Manchester City would be more confident because of this goal, as if they had already defeated Liverpool!
At least this made them understand that Liverpool's goal was not impenetrable. Liverpool was not unable to fall behind in the game!
There was a situation that even the media probably did not envision.
If Anfield fell!
Manchester City would be eight points ahead of Liverpool in the league table!
Perhaps only Manchester City people would think like this.
Now Manchester City was leading Liverpool 1: 0 in Anfield!
After the game restarted, Qin Xiong gestured to his teammates to speed up the pace of the game!
Liverpool began to move quickly.
The players frequently kicked the ball out between them and accelerated the attack at the right time to create panic in Manchester City's defensive line.
In the 14th minute of the game, Gerard and Kuyt played together on the right side of the front field, and then Gerard stuffed the ball straight into the penalty area. Raúl successfully reversed the offside position and shot from a small angle, which was confiscated by Hart.
Manchester City became more confident as they played. In the 17th minute of the game, David Silva passed the ball back to Yaya Toure after he exchanged passes with Nasri in the front field. The latter came to the front of the penalty area after he did a wall combination with Agüero and lifted his leg for a long shot!
The football, like a cannonball, was slightly higher than the crossbar by less than thirty centimeters.
It slid past the goal!
This made the Liverpool fans in the stands break out in a cold sweat.
The Manchester City that came into view indeed had a sense of rebirth.
Confident, mature, and smooth offense and defense.
In the 21st minute of the game, Qin Xiong controlled the ball on the left side of the front field.
He attracted the defensive attention of the three players, Yaya Toure, Richards, and Milner. The three players formed a circle, and then Qin Xiong made a breakthrough.
He took a step toward the left side of Richards. Richards focused and was particularly vigilant against Qin Xiong's breakthrough. He quickly retreated to protect the space around him and did not give Qin Xiong a chance to break through.
Qin Xiong had to stop. Milner forced from behind. Qin Xiong took a step toward the steering wheel near the sideline. At this time, Yaya Toure decisively snatched the ball from the ground!
In their view, Qin Xiong had fallen into a situation of being besieged on all sides!
Geniuses also have a time of end!
Superstars also have a time when they are powerless!
Milner and Yaya Toure went to snatch the ball together. Richards did not move. He would not give Qin Xiong space to dribble the ball and break through.
In their view, the next moment, Qin Xiong would be intercepted or the football under his feet would be destroyed, giving Liverpool a sideline ball.
It did not matter. This meant that Manchester City trapped Qin Xiong. It was a defensive victory!
Knock him off his pedestal!
The Manchester City people thought with hatred in their hearts.
But just as Milner and Yaya Toure came to snatch the ball, Qin Xiong's right foot gently kicked the ball to the back.
Milner was shocked and subconsciously clamped his legs, but it was too late.
The football rolled from between his legs to the back.
Even if it was Qin Xiong's kick, it still made Milne unable to show his face.
After Qin Xiong sent the ball out, he started to accelerate with a serious expression. Like a whirlwind, he rushed past Richards.
At the same time, the football that went through Milner's crotch rolled to the feet of Baines, who came up to assist.
Baines kicked the ball and sent out a straight pass that was close to the ground!
It was the place before he snatched the ball from Yaya Toure.
Qin Xiong went around the back at lightning speed and cut inside!
The Manchester City people fell into a huge panic!
They were still fooled by him!
Did Qin Xiong deliberately not break through Richards just now, or did he set up a full set to show weakness to the enemy and expose a gap in the left side of the front field?
No one knew. Only Qin Xiong knew what was going on.
In short, now Qin Xiong touched the ball at the edge of the penalty area. He dribbled the ball and cut inside. He rushed into Manchester City's penalty area with a murderous intent!
