Liverpool outclassed defending champions, Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium to go 11 points clear on the league table. After seeing Arsenal lose to West Ham on Saturday, the Reds knew that a victory will boost their title race.
After 14 minutes, Mohamed Salah scored his 30th goal of the season to give Liverpool the lead. Eight minutes before the break, Szoboszlai made it two to confirm another victory for Liverpool.
This victory is a morale booster to Liverpool, who drew 2-2 with Aston Villa last mid-week, as they prepare to face Newcastle United this mid-week in a rehearsal of their Carabao Cup final.
Manchester City on their part are not having the best of times as this defeat comes on the heels of their 3-0 thrashing by Real Madrid in the Champions League and they will be taking on Tottenham Hotspur this Wednesday.
When both sides met in the reverse fixture on November 23, 2024, Spurs hammered the Citizens 4-0.
