Despite beating Liverpool 4-1 in their first Anfield victory since 2003, there is still a big issue that needs solving for Manchester City following last weekend’s game: penalties.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Phil Foden ran the show on Merseyside, popping up as an attacking threat all over the pitch and capping off a remarkable performance with a fine strike to make it 4-1, while Raheem Sterling was a constant menace down the left flank and helped himself to a goal against his former club.<\/p>\n

Ilkay Gundogan also continued his recent scoring streak, netting a brace to extend his tally to nine goals in his last 13 games. However, it could have been even sweeter for the Germany international, who missed the chance to open the scoring and potentially set himself up for a hat-trick by blazing a penalty over the bar at the end of the first half.<\/p>\n

4 – Four of the last six penalties to have missed the target completely in the Premier League have been by Manchester City players, with three of those coming against Liverpool (Mahrez in October 2018, De Bruyne in November 2020 and G\u00fcndo\u011fan today).
