LONDON: Liverpool suffered another blow to their Premier League title hopes as a scrappy 1-1 home draw with Manchester City on Sunday left leaders Manchester United seven points clear.
Former Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy's heavily deflected shot after 51 minutes looked as if it would condemn Rafael Benitez' side to a first home league defeat of the season before Dutch forward Dirk Kuyt's late equalizer.
Liverpool, who face Real Madrid in the Champions League tomorrow, have now drawn six home matches in the league this season and their chances of a first league title since 1990 appear to be fading fast.
