Liverpool secured an 11-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a 2-0 win over Manchester City. Mohamed Salah starred, scoring his 30th goal of the season and assisting Dominik Szoboszlai. Liverpool now has 25 wins in 27 games, while City’s eighth league loss leaves them 20 points behind the leaders, jeopardizing their title defence.
In the Premier League title race, Liverpool secured a crucial 2-0 victory over Manchester City, extending their lead at the top to 11 points over Arsenal. Mohamed Salah starred once again, scoring his 30th goal of the season and assisting Dominik Szoboszlai’s strike before halftime. This win marked Liverpool’s first league triumph at the Etihad in a decade.
City, already struggling after their Champions League loss to Real Madrid, now trails the leaders by 20 points. Liverpool’s dominance exposed City’s defensive frailties, further amplified by the absence of Erling Haaland. Salah’s impressive tally now stands at 25 goals and 16 assists in 27 Premier League games this season.
Arne Slot, in his debut season as Liverpool manager, praised the team’s resilience and emphasized the importance of maintaining form over the next three months. The victory eased pressure on Liverpool after recent losses to Everton and Aston Villa, especially following Arsenal’s shock 1-0 defeat to West Ham.
Although City held 70% possession, they lacked the cutting edge to convert chances, with Jeremy Doku missing key opportunities. Guardiola’s side now sits fourth, likely to qualify for the Champions League, while Liverpool appears poised to claim their 20th English top-flight title.
