Sunday saw not only the end of Manchester City's unbeaten start to the season but also Erling Haaland's goalscoring streak.
The Norwegian colossus had been on a remarkable ten-game run during which he had plundered 18 goals. That run is even more impressive when considering the only league game he hadn't scored in before Anfield was a home match with Bournemouth where Phil Foden's failure to roll the ball to the No.9 for an open goal was a major talking point.
Haaland did not score against Liverpool though, and in Pep Guardiola's mind City's failure to find the net was not down to a lack of chances created. He disagreed with the idea that his side had lacked their usual fluency in attack, insisting that they had as many as seven chances in front of Alisson from which they could have scored.
