Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to 11 points after securing a decisive 2-0 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Mohamed Salah opened the scoring in the 14th minute, capitalizing on a clever set-piece routine where Dominik Szoboszlai flicked on a low corner directly into his path for a clinical finish.
The Egyptian star continued to demonstrate his prowess against Pep Guardiola’s side, now holding the record for the most goals and assists against any manager in the Premier League era.
As highlighted by Softfootball, Salah’s influence was pivotal as he later turned provider, teeing up Szoboszlai for the second goal in the 37th minute to seal the win.
Manchester City, missing the injured Erling Haaland, struggled to break down Liverpool’s defense despite having Omar Marmoush’s effort disallowed for offside.
The result leaves Arsenal’s title hopes hanging by a thread, with Liverpool firmly in control of the race. This comprehensive performance underscores the Reds’ dominance and their ability to deliver in high-stakes encounters against their closest rivals.
