Premier League Match Report: Liverpool 1 vs 1 Manchester City – Part 1
Liverpool played host to Manchester City in a game that was going to be a real test for both the teams involved in the match.
Liverpool seemed to have finally picked up their form in recent weeks and were looking to assert their dominance on the league, as they looked to close the gap at the top of the table. On the other hand, City were looking to bag another three points, as
they extended their stay at the top of the Premier League.
City were yet to lose a game in the Premier League and were not looking to start their losing habits against Liverpool.
However, with the Reds having beaten http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 this past weekend, they were on cloud nine and were more than capable of causing an upset on the night.
The match kicked off with both the teams looking to contain the other as they looked to dominate possession early on in the game.
In the 6th minute of the game, Toure went on to attempt the first shot on target of the game, as he sent a shot wide of the mark from the edge of the box.
Soon after, it was the visitors who scored the first goal of the game. In the 31st minute of the game, City took the lead in the match. Silva went on to whip in a corner and Kompany leaped the highest, as he nodded the ball into the back of the
net.
However, City’s celebrations were all short lived, as just two minutes later, they were picking the ball out of their own goal. Adam went on to take a shot at goal from distance, but fortunately for City Lescott managed to stick a boot out to stop the shot,
but went on to force it into the back of his own net.
In the 36th minute, Kuyt went on to feed Adam with the wall, as the midfielder went on o take a shot at goal. The midfielders shot was hit with precision and his effort nearly dipped into the goal, but http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joe-Hart-c18699 went on to produce a spectacular
save, as he tipped the ball over the post and denied his side from trailing to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809.
