Liverpool delivered a stunning performance to dismantle Manchester City 2-0 at Anfield. The victory not only extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to nine points but also marked a significant psychological blow to Guardiola’s side.
The first half was dominated by Liverpool, with Salah and Gakpo causing havoc for City’s defense. Salah’s brilliant cross-field pass set up Gakpo for the opening goal, and the Egyptian later scored a crucial penalty to seal the win.
City, who have been struggling for form in recent weeks, looked off-color and were unable to cope with Liverpool’s intensity. Guardiola’s side will need to regroup quickly if they are to have any chance of catching Liverpool in the title race.
This victory is a huge boost for Liverpool and their fans. They now have a real chance to win their first Premier League title since 2020.
