The rebirth of Liverpool.
At the end of an exceptionally intense match, Jürgen Klopp's Reds offered themselves the scalp of Manchester City, reigning English champions (1-0).
Yet in great difficulty in recent weeks and left behind in the standings, Liverpool took advantage of this shock to sparkle again and give themselves a breath of fresh air in the standings.
What you must remember
A crazy intensity, duels sometimes borderline and few whistles from the referee.
A real Premier League shock in short.
In the first act, the two formations fought a constant fight, surrendered blow for blow but without finding the fault.
Rather flu since the start of the season, the Reds of Jürgen Klopp regained some of their superb this Sunday.
Effective in counter-pressing, dangerous in transition, Liverpool was able to look the Skyblues in the eye.
And even got themselves a few situations through a header from Diogo Jota or a cross shot from Robertson's left.
Opposite, Guardiola's men responded with their traditional mastery of the game and the Norwegian terror Erling Haaland sometimes made the rearguard of the Reds falter.
But if the Reds have shown a much better face, all the ills are not yet cured.
Like this face-to-face missed by Mohamed Salah in front of Ederson after returning from the locker room (50th).
It's hard to imagine the Egyptian harvesting such an opportunity last season.
But a great player never sleeps very long.
And knows how to be reborn from its ashes in major events.
Taking advantage of a very inspired quick clearance from Alisson and a missed intervention from Cancelo, Salah managed a world-class control and offered himself a new duel with the Brazilian goalkeeper.
No misses this time.
The Skyblues will not recover and concede their first defeat since July 30 and a Community Shield lost against… Liverpool.
The Reds go back to 8th place in this Premier League.
Player: Alisson Becker
The Brazilian goalkeeper of the Reds faced Ederson, his direct competitor in selection, and known for his silky footwork.
It is precisely in this register that Alisson distinguished himself this Sunday with this long millimeter clearance for Salah on the action of the goal.
Before that, he showed a lot of safety on his line and released a few hot balls, in particular on a strike from Erling Haaland in the 64th minute of play. A match boss for a goalkeeper of international class.
The number: 6
Mohamed Salah hadn't scored in six Premier League games and a trip to Manchester United on August 22.
An eternity for a player of this caliber, co-top scorer in the championship last season with 23 goals.
