Pep Guardiola was hardly concerned about losing this first everstaged in July but may scrutinise how Erling Haaland was near-anonymous throughout as this, despite the manager’s post-defeat protestations, disrupted the side’s rhythm.
Seven minutes had gone when Guardiola offloaded a first rollicking of the term: João Cancelo was the victim for going back toward goal instead of finding Jack Grealish with an escape ball up the left.Photograph: Nick Potts/PA A prime instance of Salah’s freedom came when he controlled and dinked the ball inside to Alexander-Arnold. The right-back, seeing Andy Robertson swoop towards the far post, executed a chip to the Scot who should have finished.All of the noise emanated from the red section of the venue, all of the action from those in the same colour livery. Thus, when Alexander-Arnold struck there was scant surprise. Salah – again – was found, this time by Thiago Alcãntara.
If each manager made no changes for the second half, Liverpool were soon, once more, carrying the threat. From a free-kick on the left Robertson dropped the ball into City’s area before Aké, leaping, headed clear. Next the menacing Alexander-Arnold marauded toward Ederson and was repelled near the six-yard box, Robertson crashed in a cross, and Jordan Henderson looked to nip in down the right before turning back into traffic.
