This could be a blow for Arsenal: Roy Keane delivers verdict on Man City win over Liverpool

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City fought back from a goal down at a raucous Anfield to secure a crucial 2–1 win.

Liverpool appeared to be heading for a season-defining victory after Dominik Szoboszlai unleashed a stunning 30-yard free-kick in the 74th minute that left the visitors stunned.

However, City showed the mettle of champions, equalizing through Bernardo Silva in the 84th minute before Erling Haaland coolly converted a 93rd-minute penalty to seal the three points.

The victory ensures Pep Guardiola's side stays within six points of Arsenal, who beat Sunderland 3-0 just a day earlier. S

Speaking on Sky Sports, Keane emphasized that the mental impact of City’s late show could be more damaging to the Gunners than the points themselves.

"Manchester City won more than three points today," Keane stated. "Psychologically, it’s a big lift. To go to Anfield, be behind with fifteen minutes to go, and still find a way to win—that sends a message.

"It’s a bit of a hammer blow for Arsenal. They would have been sitting at home hoping City would finally drop off, but this result proves they aren't going anywhere."

Keane added that while Arsenal still hold the advantage, City's first win at a full Anfield since 2003 marks a shift in momentum.

"You saw the hunger in City today. They knew if they lost, the race was likely over. Now, the pressure is squarely back on Mikel Arteta's shoulders."
