AFCON 2025
Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to 11 points with a routine 2-0 win over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola’s men started on the front foot with Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku threatening in the early exchanges.
However, after City’s Omar Marmoush had a goal disallowed for offside, Liverpool broke the deadlock through the irrepressible Mohamed Salah, who capitalised off a clever corner-kick routine to finish past Ederson in the City goal.
City immediately attempted to restore parity but Ibrahima Konate made a series of vital blocks to preserve Liverpool’s lead.
Liverpool doubled their advantage just before halftime. Trent Alexander-Arnold lifted a ball over the top to Salah, who made his way down the right-hand side and into the box before laying it off for Szoboszlai to stroke home a low finish.
