Man City 0-2 Liverpool (Salah 14′, Szoboszlai 37′)
Liverpool struck a hammer blow in the Premier League title race with an imperious victory away to Manchester City.
Goals from Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai sealed a 2-0 win for the Reds, who moved 11 points clear of closest rivals Arsenal following their defeat to West Ham on Saturday, albeit having played a game more.
In what should have been a serious test of their mettle following a string of shaky results, Arne Slot’s men made a trip to Etihad Stadium look like a walk in the park.
The opener came straight from the training ground, Szoboszlai dropping short for a corner and flicking the ball round the corner for Salah, who was hovering in space around the penalty spot and fired the ball past Ederson via a heavy deflection.

Omar Marmoush then looked like he had equalised for the hosts, who once again had Erling Haaland missing through injury, scoring from a narrow angle only to turn around and see the linesman’s flag raised.
That stray offside proved to be costly for City, with Liverpool regathering control and hitting them on the break.
This time it was Salah who turned provider for Szoboszlai, dancing down the wing before laying it off to the Hungarian midfielder whose slotted finish wrongfooted Ederson.

Liverpool took complete control in a relatively low-key second half, with Curtis Jones having a third goal chalked off by VAR for offside.
The result leaves City in fourth but level on points with Newcastle following their victory over fellow Champions League hopefuls Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
