Liverpool Beat Man City To Top Premier League Table

Liverpool took another step towards the Premier League title with a 2-0 victory over Manchester City, thanks to talisman Mohamed Salah, who scored the opening goal and assisted Dominik Szoboszlai for the second.

This win saw Liverpool go 11 points clear at the top on Sunday.

Arne Slot’s side now has 64 points from 27 matches, ahead of second-placed Arsenal, who have a game at hand.

Manchester City sits fourth with 44 points, as their early-season quest for a fifth consecutive title has unraveled into a battle for a Champions League berth.

Salah netted his league-leading 25th goal of the season in the 14th minute, firing a blistering shot from near the edge of the box that deflected off the outstretched foot of City defender Nathan Ake, leaving goalkeeper Ederson unable to react.

Szoboszlai capitalised on City’s poor defending to double the lead in the 37th minute.

Salah found the unmarked Hungarian international in the box, making it easy for him to slide the ball into the net, much to the dismay of City fans, whose gloomy mood was only exacerbated by the driving rain.
