Balotelli, who had been on the pitch for exactly 10 minutes, was frozen by the Liverpool backline as he tried to get possession of the ball in succession.

In the 65th minute, when David Silva played the ball through to him in the middle of the field, Skrtel stepped forward to take possession of the ball, and Balotelli tried to use his body to make Skrtel lose his balance, but he couldn't.

The two were very close, Balotelli's elbow was raised, and it hit Skrtel's chin, Skrtel fell to the ground, Balotelli made a successful steal but was whistled by the referee to signal a foul!

Balotelli smiled innocently at the referee, which was particularly hilarious with his bizarre mohican hairstyle.

The referee came to him and showed a red card directly!

Balotelli changed color and tried to communicate with the referee, but the referee ignored his arguments.

"Wow! Balotelli was sent off 10 minutes after coming off the bench! Manchester City are going to fight with one less man!

Let's take a look at the footage replay to see what happened.

When Balotelli counter-attacked Skrtel, his arm was raised and hit Skrtel's chin right in, which was a foul but it was debatable whether he should have been awarded a red card.

Because Balotelli's movements weren't obvious, and it didn't look like it was intentional. ”

The Liverpool players pulled Skrtel up from the ground, and Balotelli chattered to the sidelines when the referee didn't pay any attention to what he was saying.

Mancini looked cold on the sidelines, Balotelli tried to justify Mancini that it was not his fault, Mancini didn't know what to say to him with a cold face, and Balotelli walked to the players' tunnel with a furious expression.

Upon walking to the visiting dressing room, Balotelli kicked the door of the dressing room straight into the room!

After Balotelli was sent off, Mancini had to make a second substitution.

He replaced Aguero, who scored the first goal of the game, with Dzeko.

Manchester City will be very passive in the future, so Aguero will have very few chances, and keeping Dzeko at the high point and playing high may be able to create some lethal chances.

At least that's what Mancini thought.

Aguero was not in high spirits and bowed his head down.

Liverpool were able to control the tempo and situation of the game more calmly with one more player.

Gradually put attacking pressure on the City penalty area.

In the 76th minute of the game, Liverpool, who continued to fall in the midfield, made Manchester City unable to hold back, after all, Manchester City was only one goal behind, and if they were desperate, they might have a chance to equalize.

But just as their midfield pressed forward, Liverpool suddenly picked up speed.

Qin Xiong, who retreated to the midfield and acted as a commander, sent the ball to the feet of Gerrard, who was cutting forward, with a diagonal kick.

Steven Gerrard got straight to the end of the box and fired straight at goal.

Hart's powerful shot allowed Hart to make a superb save, but in the end he couldn't get the ball under his palm, and he barely managed to block the ball in the box.

Suarez seized the opportunity to shoot and easily slotted the ball into the back of the net.

"Liverpool, who played with one more man, extended their lead at home.

3:1

This almost sealed City's death sentence.

With about 15 minutes left in the game, there is not much time left for Manchester City.

Will Manchester City, who are two goals down, be able to bring the suspense back to the game? ”

'I don't think so, Liverpool are very steady, especially in a strong conversation like this, they don't make low-level mistakes like taking things lightly, they don't give City the slightest chance.'

When Suarez went to celebrate, Coman called his players from the bench to warm up.

Three minutes later, Liverpool made two substitutions in a row.

Kuyt and Raul were substituted, with Lucas and Tiot coming on.

Liverpool's steel midfielder is back on the pitch.

Manchester City don't stand a chance!

There really isn't any.

They struggled to rely on their individual ability to break through in front of the pitch and were repeatedly intercepted by Liverpool.

The attack was blocked, and the backfield players did not dare to step forward to stage a Jedi counterattack, and Manchester City now looked a little weak.

"Mancini's Manchester City are now a first-class team, but the Blues are only good at playing tailwinds these days, and it is difficult for them to turn the tide against strong opponents, Liverpool in the league and Champions League.

Mancini still has a long way to go. ”

Succumbing to the defending champions' dominance at home, Manchester City were beaten 3-1 at Anfield!

At the end of the match, there was a deafening cheer at Anfield Stadium.

Liverpool fans were ecstatic, and it was a great deal of significance for this strong conversation to be won.

Not only did it give Manchester City their first league defeat this season, narrowing the gap between the two teams, but it also frustrated Manchester City's spirit.

After the game, Coman took the initiative to shake Mancini's hand, and the two men parted with a touch of a touch, and separated without words.

After all, it was a crucial battle, and the pressure on Coman was actually greater than Mancini's.

It's cold in the heights!

If Liverpool end up losing the league title, it will be the end of their dominance, and the blow they have suffered is not the same as Manchester City's defeat in the title race.

The Liverpool players celebrated in the stadium, and after this game, Liverpool were only 2 points behind Manchester City!

Take a look at the standings.

Manchester City 34 points.

Liverpool 32 points.

Manchester United 29 points.

Chelsea 25 points.

Arsenal 23 points.

Originally, the bottom three of this round had a chance to catch up to the top of the table, but only Chelsea won, Manchester United and Arsenal only got a draw.

In his post-match press conference, Koeman gave a brief commentary on his team's victory.

'It's been a tough time for Liverpool, we're missing key players and we've been tough opponents in three games in a row, Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City and we're going to Stamford Bridge in three days to play a Carabao Cup, but I'm glad the players overcame it, the win is the best reward for staying focused and working hard, we have the strongest and most united team in the world and Liverpool will keep going!'

As for Roberto Mancini, he said the defeat at Anfield was not the end of the world.

"The league is not a cup competition, we are still the leaders in the table, a team always loses and wins, Liverpool lost the first game of the season, now it is Manchester City's turn to end their unbeaten run, I can't say I am ready to lose at Anfield, no, our original goal was to win the game, it's just a pity we didn't do it in 90 minutes, it doesn't matter, we will forget about this defeat in the future and try to regain our lead!"
