Premier League: Liverpool 2-2 Man City
Table of Contents
Liverpool defender Martin Škrtel went from hero to zero as his errant backpass late in the game gifted Manchester City a 2-2 draw at Anfield.
It was the Slovakian's explosive header from a Steven Gerrard corner that gave Liverpool a deserved half-time lead.
City drew level on 63 minutes when a handling error on Pepe Reina's part allowed Yaya Touré to tap-in Carlos Tévez's right wing delivery from close range.
But the Reds were back in the lead just three minutes later as Luis Suárez swept in a sumptuous free-kick round the wall and into the bottom corner.
It was, though, another Liverpool error that got City back into the contest when Škrtel's rush of blood saw him play a suicidal backpass which allowed Tévez to snatch a point for City that they scarcely deserved.
