Was Liverpool's 1-1 draw against Man City a fair result? Stats-based answer

Today, Liverpool drew 1-1 against Man City, dropping to the second place in the Premier League table.

But the question is, was this result fair?

As per Sofascore, Liverpool took 19 shots, 6 of which were on target.

On the contrary, Man City also took 6 shots on target, but only 10 shots in total.

What's even more interesting is the expected goals statistics: Man City only has 1,61 xG, while Liverpool has 2,46 xG - and that's not even counting the denied penalty for Doku's awful tackle on AllexMac Allister.

To sum up, we should've won the game - and we would, if it was not for our terrible finishing and denied penalty at the end of the game.
