Man City 0-2 Liverpool: Mohamed Salah and Dominic Szoboszlai help the Reds open a gap of 11 points at the top of the Premier League | Football news
Liverpool softened a convincing 2-0 victory over the ruling Manchester City champion to extend the lead at the top of the Premier League at 11 points.
Knowing Arsenal has already lost For West Ham on Saturday, the ruthless Reds of Arne Slot took their opportunity to stretch the gap even more in their search for the first title from 2019-20.
“It’s all over,” he concluded Heavenly sports’ Roy Keane. “Manchester City has been amazing in the last few years, but you have been looking at Liverpool as new champions.”
“The beating of Manchester City Home and Away is just as much as you can give,” said Jamie Carragher.
The game changed two moments of gloss from the first half: a creative set that ended Mohamed Salah and a precise low strike by Dominic Szoboszlai, who entered the Salah-Njeg’s contribution in the season at the 40th goal.
The city caused innumerable problems such as Jeremy Loca, ending the stunning 13 dribbling, was the threat of the whole game, but he did not have a focal point and even less threats because Erling Haalnd missed injuries. It seems that their domestic rule fulfills a fairly flawless end.
The Pep Guardiola side ended the weekend of 20 shy league leaders to underline their astonishing fall, which is the farthest from the top of July 2020. The Champions League qualifiers next year is now their relatively modest goal.
Analysis: Liverpool title
Visiting Liverpool fans sang about winning the league throughout the game. When the victory was sealed, they remained behind “we won’t move.” After such a convincing victory over the once formed opponent, that statement is as close as ever in reality. Liverpool are likely to be thrown out of such a position of power. They barely look like blinking.
Nervous performances against Everton, Wolves and Aston Villa asked questions about how Arne slots would deal with the pressure of the rush, but they reacted strongly against the city. Jurgen Klopp made double over Pep Guardiola in his first season, but never since. Slot also did so for the first time asking.
“In every other league, the leadership of this would be very comfortable, but not in this one,” the Dutch warned after the match. She fails to accept the ‘Champion Candle Champion’ label so early in the season. A wise approach. But so far, this is certain that Liverpool’s title is to lose.
‘Liverpool will feel invincible after winning the title’
Heavenly sports’ Gary Neville::
“They didn’t obviously beat him, but they did.
“In the years that have passed, I got involved in discussions with other people, that Arsenal should not have come here and win. You. It didn’t always happen when I played.
“But to really make a statement when trying to take off the title of someone, when you try to really reject it home, that you are worthy of the title winners, you have to go and do something different.
“Liverpool is not just 11 points clear, which puts them in an incredible position, but psychologically you feel unbeatable after the game as today.”
Salah: Liverpool needs another title
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah said Sky Sports::
“We need another title. Me and big guys in the team need another title.
“It’s amazing. It’s a very difficult place to come and play here. They’re a tough team and have an amazing manager. I’m glad we won the game in the end. Especially. Especially when you’re in the title race, it’s amazing.
“We hope we will be calm because sometimes the pressure comes to us. We try to win every game.”
Slot: nothing safe in the Premier League
Liverpool manager Groove::
“I have said many times that it is so difficult to judge the league table before each game is played. We are in a good position, but we also know how difficult it was for us to win the wolves.
“In every other league that has this kind of guidance, it would be very comfortable, except this one – each game gives you so many challenges.
“No one has seen us as a candidate for the title at the beginning of the season and I don’t think anyone in the football world would expect the city not to be so close to the top.”
PEP: The future of the city is bright
City man manager Pep Guardiola::
“If you lose, you have to lose the way we lost today. I have seen many things that this club has a bright future with the players we have.
“Apart from Kevin de Bruyne and maybe Nathan Akea, all players are so young. What the club decides the next for the future, there is a bright future in the coming years.
“Everyone knows that the part will be here next season for older players, but we have to build for the next step. There is a question of time. Even with the amount of absences we have, we played well. They break the lines and they break the lines and they can break behind the interruption your.
“We are far away. We will see in the future. What we did in the previous seasons is good, but now we are far from them. We played with a personality that was really good.”
