Manchester City 1:0 Liverpool Women Match Report
Liverpool suffered a late 1-0 defeat away at Manchester City in the Barclays Women’s Super League.
Gareth Taylor’s team came close to opening the scoring early on at Joie Stadium on Sunday as captain Grace Fisk hit the post.
The title-chasing hosts were thwarted several times by Reds goalkeeper Jennifer Falk but she was beaten by Rebecca Knaak’s header in stoppage time.
Liverpool had made a confident start to proceedings and troubled City three times within the opening few minutes.
First, Ceri Holland was worked into space on the left wing and lifted in a cross that found Aurélie Csillag, whose header from the centre was too high.
Denise O’Sullivan stole possession high up the pitch when play resumed and moved through to fire a low shot that Ayaka Yamashita had to get down to shovel around the post.
Then a Holland corner delivery from the right reached the far side of the penalty area, where Fisk cushioned a first-time volley onto the base of the left post.
League leaders City found a foothold as the first half progressed – and the Reds needed their goalkeeper on 26 minutes.
Lauren Hemp muscled past Risa Shimizu on the flank and pulled the ball back to Khadija Shaw. Her instant strike at goal was repelled by Falk low to her right.
Shaw next cleared the crossbar with a header from Kerstin Casparij’s inswinger, while Csillag rifled too high upon combining with Mia Enderby to create room.
City immediately pinned the visitors back in the second half, with Fisk making an important block to thwart an Aoba Fujino drive.
A Hemp attempt that lacked power was comfortable for Falk before the same player curled not too far wide of the Liverpool net from a tight angle.
Holland snatched at a shot from the edge of the box having been able to dribble forward, but the traffic was mostly in the other direction now.
Indeed, Falk was again called into a rescue act just past the hour mark. Shaw’s clipped ball in behind allowed Kerolin to brush off Jenna Clark and go one-v-one. The final effort was pushed up and over the goalframe.
Hemp and Shaw connected again when the former’s near-post cross from the left was swept off target by the latter.
The Reds could have broken the deadlock themselves soon after, though, with an unmarked Beata Olsson directing her header wide from Alejandra Bernabe’s pinpoint delivery.
Falk foiled City yet again a minute into stoppage time.
Hemp’s latest tee-up for Shaw was looped towards goal via the striker’s head and Falk reacted quickly to push the ball over.
She was unable to repeat that from the resulting corner, though. Knaak headed it in search of the bottom left corner and it got through the grasp of Falk to give City the points.
Team
Liverpool: Falk, Shimizu (Bergstrom, 69), Clark, Fisk, Bernabe, Nagano, O’Sullivan, Holland, Enderby, Olsson, Csillag (Josendal, 82).
Unused subs: Kirby, Evans, Woodham, Maclean, Shaw, Trueman.

FA Cup Quarter Final - Manchester City 4:0 Liverpool Match Report
Match Report
A 4-0 defeat at Manchester City on Saturday eliminated Liverpool from the Emirates FA Cup.
The first half of the quarter-final at Etihad Stadium was evenly contested until Erling Haaland struck twice in quick succession before the interval.
Antoine Semenyo stretched the hosts’ lead soon after the restart and Haaland further increased it prior to the hour mark.
Mohamed Salah later saw a penalty saved by James Trafford to cap an afternoon of disappointment for Arne Slot’s men.
Team
Joe Gomez, Curtis Jones and Salah came into the Liverpool XI as Slot made three changes.
First half
A skip forward and low shot from Jeremy Doku was the only flash of threat from either team in the opening 10 minutes.
Hugo Ekitike clipped wide when slightly unbalanced after a one-two with Florian Wirtz and Matheus Nunes fired one into Giorgi Mamardashvili’s hands, before the game’s first big chance.
A long kick from Liverpool’s goalkeeper swooped right over the City back line for Salah, who got the ball under control inside the area.
As the Egyptian lined up his strike from left of goal, though, Abdukodir Khusanov rescued the hosts with a sliding challenge that deflected the finish away.
City appeals for a penalty when Rayan Cherki hit the ground under a challenge from Milos Kerkez were ignored by the officials as the match began to bubble a little more.
On 27, Jones brought a Salah cross down inside the box and his attempted lay-off bobbled to Ekitike, who swiped it over the far upright.
The deadlock would be broken from a City penalty kick as the referee pointed to the spot for a Virgil van Dijk trip on Nico O’Reilly.
Haaland stepped up to the duel with Mamardashvili and rolled the ball into the bottom right corner.
Liverpool’s challenge was increased two minutes into added time. Haaland was first to meet a Semenyo delivery and flicked a header inside the left post.
Second half
The Reds fell three goals behind within five minutes of the restart.
Cherki slid a pass through for Semenyo to go into a one-v-one with Mamardashvili and the forward dinked the ball past the goalkeeper.
Swiftly at the other end, Trafford made a smart stop to keep out Salah, while the Liverpool No.11 also swept a presentable chance too high after Semenyo’s effort from his own half landed on the roof of the net.
Prior to the hour, Haaland completed his treble to further City’s advantage, scooping a finish in off the crossbar from O’Reilly’s tee-up.
Slot’s side were awarded a 63rd-minute penalty for a foul halting Ekitike’s dribble into the box, but Salah’s driven kick from 12 yards was repelled by Trafford.
The City ’keeper gloved away an Alexis Mac Allister drive from distance but the score remained 4-0 and the Reds’ FA Cup hopes are over for this season.

Premier League 25/26 Matchday 25 - Liverpool 1:2 Manchester City Match Report
Match Report
Liverpool were beaten 2-1 by Manchester City in Sunday's Premier League clash at Anfield.
Deep into a second half in which the Reds were on top, Dominik Szoboszlai swerved a brilliant free-kick in off the post.
City mounted a late turnaround to take the points, however, through goals from Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland, the latter from a penalty.
During a frantic spell of stoppage time, Rayan Cherki had the ball in the net again from long range with Alisson Becker out of goal.
But it was disallowed as Haaland and Szoboszlai fouled each other in chasing down the shot, with the latter sent off for his offence.
Team
Arne Slot fielded an unchanged Reds line-up from the side that defeated Newcastle United eight days prior.
First half
The game was played at a clip from the off and City almost landed an immediate blow.
In the second minute, Silva slid a pass into the Liverpool area for Haaland to spring into a one-v-one.
But a combination of preventative touches from Alisson and Milos Kerkez foiled the Norwegian.
Omar Marmoush dragged wide when later freed in behind, though this time the Reds' offside trap had ensured no real threat in any case.
A peach of a forward pass from Alexis Mac Allister came in response to sustained City pressure and teed up Mohamed Salah.
The Egyptian opened up a shooting position in the area and his right-footer was deflected wide of the target off Marc Guehi.
Florian Wirtz cut through the visitors with a fine pass that Hugo Ekitike was unable to capitalise on, blocked out at the edge of the box by the opposition.
Haaland struck a bouncing ball into the gloves of Alisson from Rodri's delivery and the interval arrived with no mark on the scoresheet.
Second half
Salah failed to properly connect with his finish from a Cody Gakpo square across the box straight from the action's resumption.
Next, Szoboszlai was in the right place to eliminate the danger when Alisson miskicked with Marmoush chasing a ball over the top.
The Hungarian clipped a low effort that was straight at Gianluigi Donnarumma and Ekitike curled one wide after Salah and Wirtz harrying.
Alisson plucked in an Antoine Semenyo drive as City emerged from a period of encampment in their own half.
Liverpool's goalkeeper immediately sparked a counter-attack ending with Ekitike nodding a yard the wrong side of the left post from Salah's toe-poke cross.
Ruben Dias sliced off target and Wirtz was thwarted by a Guehi block, before the City centre-back halted a Salah attack with a cynical shirt-pull.
The incident occurred on the cusp of the box and was judged not to be a denial of a scoring opportunity and red-card offence, via a VAR check.
The Reds would break the stalemate from a dead-ball on 74 minutes, though, and in world-class fashion.
Szoboszlai stood over a set-piece fully 25 yards or more from goal and made his shooting intentions very clear.
The strike was sumptuous, truly smacked into the air and laser-guided off the inside of the right post into the City net.
But the away team got back on terms 10 minutes later, Haaland angling a headed knockdown into the path of Silva to prod in from close range.
And at the outset of seven additional minutes, Alisson brought down Matheus Nunes as he rushed from goal and the referee pointed to the spot.
Haaland guided the kick into the bottom left corner to put City in front.
A chaotic passage of play ensued, Alisson saving from Rayan Ait-Nouri and Donnarumma producing a stretching save to tip out a deflected Mac Allister hit.
The Reds sent their goalkeeper forward in the final throes and on a breakaway, Cherki rolled an effort towards the exposed net from the halfway line.
Haaland and Szoboszlai were impeding each other as they ran after the ball before it crossed the line.
Ultimately, the officials ruled Szoboszlai's contribution to be worthy of dismissal and the chain of events meant the goal did not count.
