Wayne Rooney has sent a message to Arsenal in the wake of Manchester City’s thrilling 2-1 victory against Liverpool.
Pep Guardiola’s team overcame a deficit to win the Premier League clash at Anfield on Sunday evening thanks to a goal from Erling Haaland.
Dominik Szoboszlai broke the deadlock with an incredible free-kick past Gianluigi Donnarumma from a distance. Shortly after, Bernardo Silva pulled one back, and in the final seconds of stoppage time, Haaland scored a penalty.
The Video Assistant Referee chalked off Rayan Cherki’s long-range attempt, which was the third and final nail in the coffin.

Rooney Talks Up The Title Race
Speaking on the BBC’s Match of the Day, Rooney urged the Arsenal players to ‘focus on themselves’ after a ‘deflating’ result in Merseyside. The Manchester United legend said: “It’s an important one for Manchester City today.
“It’s a tough place to go, Anfield. I thought Liverpool were really good [in the] second half, City were really good first half – then City have gone a goal down and dug in to get the three points.
