93 Gary Neville was left amazed by Andrew Robertson heading into the final 20 minutes at Anfield on Sunday as the Liverpool left-back created a brilliant opportunity for Darwin Nunez.
The Reds played out a fascinating draw with Manchester City. The champions took the lead in the first-half through John Stones. But the Reds equalised after the break, with Alexis Mac Allister scoring from the spot.
Both sides had glorious chances to win from there. Certainly, Luis Diaz will have nightmares about some of the opportunities he passed up.

But Darwin Nunez was also denied by a point blank save from Stefan Ortega, who replaced Ederson shortly after the Manchester City goalkeeper brought down Nunez for the penalty.
The chance came about following a sumptuous cross from Andrew Robertson. And speaking on Sky Sports (broadcast on 10/3; 17:15), Gary Neville was full of praise for the Scotland international.
“What a ball from Robertson. Sensational cross,” he said.
“This is the Ortega save. It’s a wonderful ball from Andy Robertson. In between centre-backs and goalkeeper, perfect for Nunez.”
Reds still fighting for this title
Liverpool have had to deal with so many injuries this season. And it is surely fair to say that Robertson has not been at his very best when he has played over the last few weeks.
But clearly, the £10 million man’s quality is undeniable. Had Nunez been a couple of yards further out, he would have had an amazing chance to put Liverpool in front against the Cityzens.
Liverpool have not got the depth that their title rivals appear to have right now. But their players will be absolutely desperate to send their manager off in the best way possible this summer.
And having players such as Robertson at full fitness and sharpness again is only going to boost their hopes of getting across the line.
