Summary
Liverpool beat Manchester City to confirm their great form in the 2024/25 season, as well as keeping their rivals in crisis. Arne Slot’s team beat Pep Guardiola’s men 2-0 this Sunday at Anfield Road. Gakpo and Salah scored the goals in the match.
LEADER BY FAR
The win leaves Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table. Salah and company’s team now have 34 points, opening up a nine-point gap over second-placed Arsenal, who now have 25 points. Manchester City are now on 23 points, dropping to fifth place.
UNSTOPPABLE
Liverpool secured their 11th win in 13 Premier League matches against the reigning four-time champions. Gakpo opened the scoring after just 12 minutes and Salah finished off a penalty won by Luis Diaz in the 79th minute. It was the seventh consecutive win for Arne Slot’s side, who have not lost a match since September 14, when they were defeated by Nottingham Forest in their only defeat of the season.
CRISIS IN MANCHESTER
In a rare crisis in the Guardiola era, Manchester City went six games without a win this season. In this sequence, they lost five games and drew one, between the Champions League and the English Championship. As a result, they plummeted in the Premier League table, currently outside the G-4. Liverpool fans took the opportunity to provoke the coach, saying that the Spaniard will be fired. Pep, in turn, reacted by making the number 6 with his hands, in reference to the six English Championship trophies won by City.
