Manchester City’s Kevin de Bruyne missed a potential match-winning penalty as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.
Earlier, Leicester City went to the top with a 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in which striker Jamie Vardy scored one penalty and had another saved.
Liverpool took the lead when Sadio Mane turned sharply in the box and went down after contact from Kyle Walker and Mohamed Salah converted the spot kick.
An even better turn produced City’s equaliser when De Bruyne found Gabriel Jesus in the box and the Brazilian’s superb twist set him free of Trent Alexander-Arnold and earned him just enough space to poke past Alisson.
City then wasted an opportunity to take the lead when De Bruyne missed a penalty.
Tottenham Hotspur, who rode Harry Kane’s 150th Premier League strike to beat West Bromwich Albion, are second with 17 points. Liverpool, also on 17, are third.
