Balotelli, who was replaced for just 10 minutes, was frozen by Liverpool's defensive players when he tried to get the ball in a row.

In the 65th minute, when David Silva passed the ball straight to him from the midfielder, Skrtel stepped forward to take the lead in possession of the ball, and Balotelli tried to use his body to counterbalance Skrtel from the side. But failed.

The two were very close, Balotelli raised his elbow and hit Skrtel's chin, Skrtel fell to the ground, Balotelli made a successful steal but was whistled by the referee Call for a foul!

Balotelli smiled innocently at the referee, which was especially funny with his weird mohawk hairstyle.

The referee came to him and directly showed a red card!

Balotelli's face changed instantly, and he tried to communicate with the referee, but the referee ignored his defense.

"Wow! Balotelli was sent off 10 minutes after he came on as a substitute! Manchester City will have to play one less man!

Let's take a look at the replay to see exactly what happened.

When Balotelli countered Skrtel, he raised his arm and hit Skrtel on the jaw. This is a foul, but whether it should be awarded a red card is debatable.

Because Balotelli's movement is not obvious, nor does it look like it was intentional. "

The Liverpool players pulled Skrtel up from the ground, and Balotelli saw that the referee ignored what he was saying, so he chattered towards the sidelines.

Mancini looked cold on the sidelines. Balotelli tried to explain to Mancini that it was not his fault. Mancini had a cold face and didn't know what he said to him. player channel.

Before reaching the visiting team's locker room, Balotelli kicked the door of the locker room and flew into the room!

......

After Balotelli was sent off, Mancini had to use the second substitution.

He replaced Aguero, who scored the first goal of the game, with Dzeko.

Manchester City will be very passive in the future, so Aguero will get very few opportunities. Keeping Dzeko's high point, playing high and high may be able to create some murderous intentions.

At least Mancini thinks so.

Aguero left the field with his head down in low spirits.

Liverpool can control the rhythm and situation of the game more calmly when they play one more player.

Step by step to apply attacking pressure to the Manchester City penalty area.

In the 76th minute of the game, Manchester City couldn't hold back after Liverpool's consecutive inversions in midfield. After all, Manchester City was only one goal behind. If they put all their eggs in one basket, they might have a chance to equalize the score.

But just as their midfield was pressing forward, Liverpool suddenly picked up speed.

Qin Xiong, the commander of the retreating midfielder, sent the ball obliquely to Gerrard who was going forward.

Gerrard kicked and shot directly after waving the ball to the front of the penalty area.

The powerful shot made Hart make an ultimate save, but in the end he couldn't press the ball under his palm. He barely blocked it and just blocked the ball in the penalty area.

Suarez seized the opportunity to make a follow-up shot and easily sent the ball into the goal.

"Liverpool extended their lead at home with one extra man.

3:1

It was almost a death sentence for Manchester City.

There are about 15 minutes left in the game, and there is not much time left for Manchester City.

Can Manchester City, which is two goals behind, bring back the suspense of the game? "

"I don't think so, Liverpool is very stable, especially in such a strong dialogue, they will not make such low-level mistakes as taking it lightly, and they will not give Manchester City the slightest chance."

When Suarez went to celebrate, Koeman called the players from the bench to warm up.

After 3 minutes, Liverpool replaced two people in a row.

Driven and Raul were replaced, Lucas and Tiot played.

Liverpool's steel midfielder is back on the pitch again.

Manchester City has no chance!

Really no more.

They tried to rely on their personal ability to break through the frontcourt and encountered Liverpool's powerful interceptions repeatedly.

The offense was blocked, and the players in the backcourt did not dare to go forward to stage a Jedi counterattack. Instead, Manchester City now looks a little useless.

"The Manchester City led by Mancini is now a first-class team, but Blue Moon is only good at playing with the wind. After encountering a strong opponent, it is difficult for them to reverse the opponent in the headwind. Face Liverpool in the league. This is also the case when the UEFA Champions League starts poorly.

Mancini still has a long way to go. "

Succumbing to the monstrous power of the defending champion at home, Manchester City finally lost 1:3 at Anfield!

At the end of the game, there were deafening cheers in Anfield.

The Liverpool fans were ecstatic, and the significance of winning this strong dialogue is extraordinary.

Not only did it give Manchester City their first defeat in the league this season, it narrowed the gap between the two teams, and it also frustrated Manchester City's spirit.

After the game, Koeman took the initiative to go to shake hands with Mancini. The two hands touched each other, and they separated without speaking.

After all, it is a key battle, and Koeman's pressure is actually greater than that of Mancini.

It's so cold at the top!

If Liverpool finally loses the league title, it means the end of the reign, and the blow suffered is not the same as Manchester City's failure to win the title.

The Liverpool players celebrated in the stadium. After this game, Liverpool was only 2 points behind Manchester City!

Take a look at the standings.

Manchester City 34 points.

Liverpool 32 points.

Manchester United 29 points.

Chelsea 25 points.

Arsenal 23 points.

Originally, the top three in this round all had the opportunity to catch up with the top distance, but only Chelsea won, and Manchester United and Arsenal only got a draw.

At the post-match press conference, Koeman briefly commented on the team's victory.

"It's been a tough time for Liverpool, we're missing important players and we've played three games in a row against Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City and three days later we're going to Stamford Bridge for a Carabao Cup game, but I am very happy that the players have overcome the difficulties, the victory is the best reward for their focus and hard work, we have the strongest and most united team in the world, Liverpool will continue to move forward!"

As for Mancini, he said the team's defeat at Anfield was not the end of the world.

"The league is not a cup competition. We are still the leaders in the standings. A team always loses and wins. Liverpool lost the first game of the season. Now it is the turn of Manchester City to end their unbeaten run. Be aware and prepare to lose at Anfield, no, our original goal was to win the game, it's just a pity we didn't do it in 90 minutes, it doesn't matter, we will forget this loss in the future, Work hard to regain our leading edge!"
