Liverpool delivered a masterclass at Anfield on Sunday, defeating Manchester City 2-0 to surge nine points clear at the top of the Premier League! Goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah sealed the deal, leaving Pep Guardiola’s side reeling in fifth place – their worst league streak since 2008.
The Reds came out swinging , with Trent Alexander-Arnold’s pinpoint assist setting up Gakpo’s opener. Salah then fired home a penalty to send fans into a frenzy!
\"Scoring here never gets old,\" said Salah, whose future at the club remains a hot topic.
Under new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool’s blend of defensive grit and attacking flair is paying off BIG TIME . They’ve now won 18 of 20 games this season and lead both the Premier League and Champions League – talk about a power move!
City, meanwhile, struggled to keep up . Erling Haaland was kept quiet, and their defense crumbled under Liverpool’s relentless pressure. With just two shots on target, it’s back to the drawing board for Guardiola.
Anfield’s electric atmosphere proved once again why it’s football’s ultimate fortress. Will Liverpool cruise to the title? Or can Arsenal or Chelsea close the gap? Let the drama unfold!
