Liverpool cruised to a dominant 2-0 victory over defending champions Manchester City, further cementing their position at the top of the Premier League with an impressive 11-point lead.
With Arsenal having already fallen to West Ham earlier in the day, Jürgen Klopp’s determined Reds wasted no time in capitalizing on the opportunity to extend their advantage in the race for their first league title since the 2019-20 season. The match was shaped by two moments of brilliance in the first half: a perfectly executed set-piece that saw Mohamed Salah score, and a well-placed low strike from Dominik Szoboszlai, who was set up by Salah—marking his 40th goal contribution of the season.
While Manchester City created some dangerous moments, particularly down the flanks where Jeremy Doku proved a constant threat, they lacked a central focus in attack, especially with Erling Haaland absent due to injury. As a result, City’s offense was lacking in threat, and their domestic dominance seems to be faltering.
Pep Guardiola’s side now find themselves a staggering 20 points behind Liverpool, the furthest they’ve been from the top of the table since July 2020.
