Manchester City defender Nathan Ake believes that referee Anthony Taylor judged Erling Haaland's pull on Fabinho differently to other moments in the game.

Haaland was judged to have fouled the Brazilian defensive midfielder during City's 1-0 loss to Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.

Phil Foden scored in the same move, but the goal was ruled out for the foul.

"Not to me personally, but I think it's good to let the game go, especially a game like this, I think it's better than giving fouls every two seconds, but when we need to be consistent," Ake told reporters post-game.

"It doesn't affect us, every game we go into with the same mentality, every game we want to win. That it didn't happen is not going into our minds saying this is a place where we don't win," he added on their struggles at Anfield.

"Next time we come here we have to do the same, we played well so we have to keep that momentum and go to the next one."

"[He's had] a big impact, I think you can see that over the last I don't how many games he played and he scored," finished Ake on Haaland.

"We can't say now he didn't score so, or something like that, he's been very good for us, today in general it wasn't our day to score but we go again."
