City’s Erling Haaland Creates History Alexander-Arnold Secures Draw for Reds
Trent Alexander-Arnold leveled the score by scoring against Erling Haaland’s 50th Premier League goal, securing a crucial point for Liverpool in their matchup against reigning champions and title contenders Manchester City on Saturday.
The English international found the net with just 10 minutes remaining in a closely contested game at the Etihad Stadium. Haaland’s milestone goal had initially threatened to extend City’s impressive home winning streak, which had seen them triumph in their last 23 matches on home soil across all competitions. This remarkable run had begun with a victory against Everton on New Year’s Eve the previous December.
Alexander-Arnold’s timely equalizer not only prevented City from continuing their record-setting home run but also rescued goalkeeper Alisson Becker from a forgettable day. Alisson had committed a series of errors, including gifting Haaland the opening goal.
Haaland demonstrated no mercy in the 27th minute, reaching the remarkable feat of 50 Premier League goals in just his 48th appearance, setting a new record in the process.
