JAKARTA - Striker Erling Haaland scored a goal record. But he failed to bring Manchester City to beat Liverpool in the Premier League England match. The match at Man City's home at the Etihad Stadium, Saturday, November 25 evening WIB, ended in a 1-1 draw.

Haaland scored his 50th goal in the 48th match in the Premier League competition.

This is the fastest record to break Andy Cole's record. The former Manchester United forward needed 65 games to break into the opponent's goal up to 50 times.

It's just that the goal record failed to bring Man City to victory when they hosted Liverpool. Superior first, Liverpool could break into the host's goal through defender Trent Alexander-Arnold in the 80th minute.

The goal made Liverpool successfully enforce a 1-1 draw. Despite getting only one point, Man City is still perched at the top of the standings with 29 points. One point ahead of Liverpool who are in second place.

But Man City's position is becoming unsafe. Arsenal, who are ranked third with 27 points, will seize the throne of the standings if they beat hosts Brentford.

Meanwhile, Liverpool may also shift if the teams below them win. Not only Arsenal but also Tottenham Hotspur have the opportunity to shift the Reds. This makes the competition in the top Premier League zone still tight.

In that match, Man City had shown dominance in the early minutes.

The Cityzens' dominance became even stronger after Haaland scored in the 27th minute. He successfully completed his assist from Nathan Ake.

The 1-0 score lasted until the end of the first half. This shows the solidity of the defense of the two teams because no one can score a goal. Moreover, Liverpool quickly rose to match Man City's game.

In the second half Liverpool tried to increase the intensity of attacks. However, their efforts were fruitless. Likewise, Man City, who even had difficulty adding goals.

When the match was expected to be won by Man City, it turned out that Pool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold managed to silence the host's supporters after completing a pass from Mohamed Salah in the 80th minute.

Alexander-Arnold also celebrated the goal by running towards the Man City fans.

He put his finger on his mouth to show that the host supporters are better off silent. The action irritated the fans.

Likewise, Pep Guardiola's manager looked annoyed at failing to win the game. The final score was 1-1 for both teams.
