Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has said his side became more direct and active as they beat Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.
City came from behind to win 2-1 at Anfield, thanks to a late Erling Haaland penalty.
Dominik Szobozslai put the Reds in front with a sensational free-kick, before Bernardo Silva equalized for the visitors.
The result means Guardiola’s men remain six points behind Arsenal at the top of the table.
“First half was really good and we lost a bit of momentum in the second half,” Guardiola told BBC Match of the Day.
“Anfield can feel like that. After that, we played more direct and after that we lost the ball and we were so passive. What a strike from Szoboszlai and after that, led by our captain Bernardo, we come back.
“The spirit has been there and in general the first half was really good and second half a bit of fatigue. Omar and Erling were passive and that’s why we struggled.”
