In the second half, Ederson conceded a penalty against Liverpool resulting in an equalizer before leaving the pitch due to an injury sustained from the tackle on Darwin Nunez. Despite suggestions that the tackle warranted a red card, Ederson avoided dismissal and Alexis Mac Allister leveled the score from the penalty spot.

Fans criticized the goalkeeper for his reckless play expressing surprise at the lack of a red card. Manchester City faced intense pressure from Liverpool who believed they should have been awarded a late penalty. However, City managed to secure what could be a crucial point although they now trail behind Arsenal and Liverpool in the standings.
