Manchester City's players were all no-doubt disappointed with how things turned out at Anfield last weekend, but none more so than Joao Cancelo. When the Portuguese defender saw Alisson's launched drop-kick sail through the sky towards him, he approached the situation how he always does: on the front foot, committed and eager to win the ball back as quickly as possible.
The only issue was that in this particular situation he was the last man in a one-on-one battle with Mohamed Salah, one of the deadliest attackers on the planet. A slight miscalculation on Cancelo's part allowed Salah to role him and race towards goal unopposed.
That was just one moment of poor judgement, and on the whole Cancelo did not have a terrible game. It was certainly not one of the error-strewn performances that he tends to drop once a season.
