Comments:

League position: 1st Manchester City had won all of the 22 previous games in this Premier League season when they had scored the opening goal. This was City's first score draw in a home game in the Premier League since the visit of West Bromwich Albion on 15 December 2020; longer than any other team currently in the division. Gabriel Jesus had yet to be on the losing team in a game in the Premier League when he scored (won 42, drawn three). Raheem Sterling scored in the 63rd minute but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.

Comments:

League position: 2nd Liverpool would have returned to the top of the Premier League for the first time since 1 October 2021 with a victory in this game. This was the first time since 10 April 2021 (exactly one year ago) that the Reds had been trailling at half-time in a game in the Premier League (a 2-1 win against Aston Villa at Anfield). Diogo Jota had yet to be on the losing team in a game in the Premier League when he scored (won 27, drawn six).
