(The Guardian) 40 mins: Salah is released down the right an tries to skip inside Fernandinho, who takes the ball with a clean sliding challenge. But the Egyptian goes down hurt, and the physio is looking at his foot/ankle area again.

(The Guardian) 42 mins: Aguero is played into the left side of Liverpool’s penalty area, but his shot zips across goal and wide.

(The Guardian) 45 mins: Bravo stops another one! This time it was Salah’s curler from 20 yards, which was neither powerful enough nor precise enough to sneak into the corner.
45+1 mins: Into first-half stoppage time, of which there’ll be about two minutes.

Peep peep! That's the halftime whistle and Liverpool hold the advantage thanks to goals by Fabinho & Mohamed Salah.... your halftime score from Anfield from Ste_Macca's backyard: Liverpool 2, Manchester City 0.

(The Guardian) 38 mins: Bravo saves a shot! It’s Firmino’s effort, stuck left-footed straight at him. Alexander-Arnold created the opportunity, after producing a touch to control Alisson’s clearance that was so beautiful I want to frame it and hang it in my bedroom so it’s the first thing I see every morning when I wake up and reminds me of beauty, poetry and the potential of humankind. (The Guardian) Alexander-Arnold’s left-footed crossfield pass to Robertson in the build-up to Liverpool’s second can also go on the wall, incidentally.

(The Guardian) Simon Yates has had a good think about that handball call: “Coming to this a bit late, but isn’t the TAA handball exactly the situation which we were worrying about when the rules were tweaked?” he writes. “If the ball hits the hand of a member of the attacking side in the move leading to a goal, the goal is now supposed to be disallowed for handball regardless of intent etc. So on that basis you should disallow Fabinho’s goal for TAA’s handball. Even though the handball was in the Liverpool area. But having given handball you then have to give the penalty even though the handball doesn’t meet the criteria for a penalty, where you don’t give it if the arm isn’t in an unnatural position.” Well this is confusing. I think the Alexander-Arnold handball didn’t happen close enough to the Fabinho shot in either time or space for today’s crack refereeing unit to take it into account. The VAR team, incidentally, say the arm was not in an unnatural position, and the ball came at him too quickly.

I like our counter attacks so far. We need to stop them from creating so many chances though.

(The Guardian) The Premier League has released a statement about the handball incident: The VAR checked the penalty appeal for handball against Trent Alexander-Arnold and confirmed the on-field decision that it did not meet the considerations for a deliberate handball. So there you go. Now, on with the game: both sides are back on the field and ready for action.

(The Guardian) 46 mins: On Sky, Geoff Shreeves says he was surrounded at half-time by City coaches, demanding to know why they hadn’t been given a penalty. Hopefully they aren’t totally distracted by vengeful frustration, because they could certainly still score a couple of goals here.

(The Guardian) 53 mins: More dodgy defending down the left from City there, mind. Henderson picked up the ball 20 yards from the byline, and just ran in a straight line. Gundogan kept up with him for a while but then gave up, leaving Angelino, who had presumably decided that Gundogan had this under control, behind the play and helpless.
