Egyptian’s football super star Mohamed Sarah’s dazzling solo effort cancelled out by late De Bruyne strike in thrilling 2-2 draw
A magnificent solo goal from Mohamed Salah helped Liverpool maintain their unbeaten start despite Manchester City twice coming from behind in a 2-2 draw at Anfield.
City goalscorers Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne had the best chances to break the deadlock as the champions controlled a goalless first half.
But Liverpool took the lead on 59 minutes as Sadio Mane fired in his 99th Premier League goal following sublime play from Salah on the break.
City levelled on 69 minutes through Foden’s drilled finish from an acute angle after Gabriel Jesus had found him.
Phil Foden (21y 128d) is the youngest player to score in three consecutive Premier League matches against Liverpool since Romelu Lukaku in November 2013 (20y 194d).
Different gravy 👌@PhilFoden 🤩

But it wasn’t enough to secure the three points for Jürgen Klopp’s side as Kevin De Bruyne’s strike at the Kop end took a deflection off Joel Matip and beat Alisson Becker.
De Bruyne equalised five minutes later with a finish from the edge of the area, before a superb sliding block from Rodri denied Reds midfielder Fabinho a late winner.
Liverpool remain unbeaten but drop to second with 15 points. Man City are one point and one place below them.
