Liverpool took a massive step towards securing the Premier League title with a convincing 2-0 win over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Mohamed Salah was the star of the show, scoring his league-leading 25th goal of the season in the 14th minute and setting up Dominik Szoboszlai for the second goal in the 37th minute.
This victory marked Liverpool’s first league win at the Etihad in nine years, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. The win puts Liverpool 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League table, with 64 points from 27 matches.
Manchester City, on the other hand, remains fourth with 44 points, their hopes of a fifth consecutive title all but extinguished. The loss was City’s second 2-0 defeat to Liverpool this season, and it highlights the team’s struggles without injured star Erling Haaland.Liverpool’s dominant performance was a testament to their strength and resilience, particularly in defense.
The team’s ability to absorb pressure and break forward at opportune moments proved decisive, with Salah and Szoboszlai forming a deadly partnership up front. As the season enters its final stretch, Liverpool looks increasingly likely to claim their first title since 2019-20.
