Liverpool is 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League table after defeating Manchester City on Sunday afternoon with a 2-0 score in the Premier League.
Mohamed Salah and Dominic Szoboszlai scored in the first half, and the city generally failed to understand visitors from Merseyside, despite dominance of possession and shooting.
City is so far away from the pace – full 20 points – that simply qualifying for the Champions League next season is a real challenge for the rest of the season.
How the game took place
It was a cage start to the competition while both sides tried to get a foothold. Early attacks showed an initial promise, throwing out before they became a real threat to any end.
Alisson wore with several direct city corners and then did the damage to Liverpool. The low delivery of Alexis Mac Allister at near the post initially looked like a lady, but it immediately became clear that it was a deliberate passage of Szoboszlai. His shake behind him was found by Salah, whose strike was benefits from the useful deviation of Eerson’s past.
The goal did not actually serve to ignite the competition. Alisson has comfortably collected attempts to hit outside the Omar Marmoush and Phil Foden. Marmoush then had a ball in the net, a fine low ending through Liverpool’s goalkeeper, but obviously he was in the offside and the flag rose.
The reds played it perfectly and then built on their lead in the final stages of the first half. It was another simple but well -made move, with Salah sneaking into a long ball forward from the right. He headed to a dangerous position and then rushed to the unmarked Szoboszlai to explode.
Liverpool gladly let City control the ball into the knowledge that the chances would come to a counterattack. In this respect, the hosts brought several attacks at the early stages of the second half without not stating much before the visitors had the ball in the net for the third time. Curtis Jones applied the final processing, but Var intervened after caught by Szoboszlai offsid in the upgrade.
City He answered this return by forming Alisson into action, denying Marmoush, while the spectacular Epson soon followed from Luis Diaz Curler. Virgil Van Dijk had to be warned to intercept the reduction of the Marmoush panel, Rico Lewis fired a jump into the side net.
Since City is still pushed to return to the game, the slot of your favorite Waters Endo has been brought in the last 17 minutes plus a stop time to lock things in the middle of the field, with the left back refreshed by Andrew Robertson who started beating Savinho .
Liverpool has dropped points against Everton and Aston Villa twice in recent weeks, which could be an opportunity for a chasing package to close the gap.
But Arsenal’s own struggle, Chelsea and Manchester City who are falling apart, and the recent inconsistency of Nottingham Forest means that this has not happened.
Liverpool played a game more than the rest, mostly faced with a villa to avoid compensating for the Carabao Cup finals in the next month, but only dramatic and unforeseen collapse could now prevent them from requesting the second premier league title in six seasons.
This would be the number 20 total, moving the Reds level with the English owners of Manchester United records, which soon do not look like they go to 21.
Mohamed Salah scored 30 goals for the fifth time as a Liverpool playerbecause the club was only eight. It is an extraordinary consistency at the highest level, especially from someone previously written off as the FLOP Premier League in Chelsea.
With 241 goals of Liverpool to its name in total since 2017, Salah Now the third with Gordon Hodgson is common on the list of clubs. Only Roger Hunt (285) and Ian Rush (346) have now more often achieved the history of Liverpool. The Rush’s record is probably safe, but Salah could probably be wrapped in hunting by the end of next season – if he could agree with a new contract.
Salah’s Passage for Dominic Szoboszlai took his assistance of the Premier League for the season at 16. It’s just four shy records in one season of 20, held together by Thierry Henry and Kevin de Bruyne. The Liverpool Egyptian King needs five more assists in 11 remaining games to break it and, in its current form, it is hard to believe that this will not happen.
Erling Haaland again disappeared from the city lineup After a shot last weekend, he doesn’t even create a bench this time due to lack of fitness.
City does not have the other ‘number nine’ striker, and January was signed by Omar Marmoush how he does the best job as an internal striker acting on the left channel.
For this Phil Foden, he was pushed forward as a ‘false nine’, and Marmoush supported from a little deeper and allowed freedom to pull to the left where he was most comfortable.
There is no other Haalanda and the city is missing the focal point when it is not played. The change of system was the only way to achieve this and did not give the result.
The average age of the initial XI Pep Guardiola was 25 years and 68 days, the common youngest side he had ever appointed in the Premier League match. It’s even to Kevin de Bruyne, 33, Epson, 31, pulled him.
The city’s new generation is not so polished as veterans who have delivered four consecutive Premier League titles. Jeremy Loca could have had a Trent Alexander-Arnold here for breakfast, easily breaking past Liverpool full back at will, but he lacked the last third decisions. Savinho is in a similar ship, and the 20-year-old midfielder of the central agents of Abdukodir Khusanov is not ready to be thrown in the deep area.
De Bruyne reaches the end of the road in town. The Belgian served the club incredible, but remained from the initial XI against Real Madrid in the middle of the week and was the first Pep Guardiola player withdrawing when it was still enough time to do something.
