Following the defeat, City dropped to the bottom of the standings, 11 points below Liverpool. The 2-0 loss came immediately following the run. Mohamed Salah scored on a penalty kick in the 78th minute, following a goal by Cody Gakpo in the 12th. However, with Liverpool having many easy opportunities, it might have been lot worse for City.

The 53-year-old recently signed a contract extension with Manchester City which will last until 2027, but he has stated that he would not remain too long if things do not improve. However, Guardiola was unable to contain his anger and responded by flashing six fingers, one for each trophy he had won.
Two of instances occurred in 2018–19 and 2021–2022, when they were able to deny Liverpool a point. The loss extended Guardiola's dismal record at Anfield. City has lost six of their ten meetings under Pep Guardiola, while their lone victory was behind closed doors in 2021 as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.
