Liverpool eased to a convincing 2-0 win over reigning champions Manchester City to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to 11 points.
Knowing Arsenal had already lost to West Ham on Saturday, Arne Slot’s ruthless Reds seized their opportunity to stretch the gap even further in their pursuit of a first title since 2019-20.
“It is all over,” concluded Sky Sports’ Roy Keane. “Manchester City have been amazing last few years but you’re looking at Liverpool as the new champions.”
“Beating Manchester City home and away is as big a statement as you can make,” said Jamie Carragher.
The game was changed by two moments of first-half brilliance: a creative set-piece finished by Mohamed Salah and a precise low strike from Dominik Szoboszlai, teed up by Salah – his 40th goal contribution of the season.
City caused untold problems out wide as Jeremy Doku, completing a staggering 13 dribbles, was a menace all game, but had no focal point and even less threat with Erling Haalnd missing through injury. Their domestic reign looks to be meeting a rather unceremonious end.
Pep Guardiola’s side finish the weekend 20 points shy of the league leaders to underline their startling decline, the furthest they have been from the top of the table since July 2020. Qualification for next year’s Champions League is now their relatively modest aim.
