Premier League: FC Liverpool ready for title: 2-0 at Manchester City

Table leader FC Liverpool has set a thick exclamation mark in the championship race of the Premier League. The English of coach Arne Slot prevailed on Sunday, as in the first leg 2-0 (2-0) with defending champion Manchester City. Liverpool set the hosts around the ex-Frankfurt Omar Marmoush for months.

Salah and Szoboszlai with teamwork

The outstanding Mohamed Salah brought the Reds in the 14th minute after a presentation of the former Leipzig Dominik Szoboszlai with a deflected shot. In the 37th minute, Szoboszlai increased again after submitting Salah and hit the right corner in the rainy Manchester.

City coach Pep Guardiola, who has been increasingly at a loss in the past few weeks, had to do without striker Erling Haaland and defender John Stones due to injury. His cityzens, who had said goodbye to Real Madrid from the Champions League during the week, had more possession of the ball, but developed too rarely in their offensive actions.

One again too susceptible and too harmless

After Curtis Jones’ supposed goal was revoked by the video assistant to 3-0 after just under an hour because of an offside position, Manchester City reared up again. Almost in return, Marmoush demanded Liverpool keeper Alisson with his shot. But the home side remained too harmless. Liverpool missed the preliminary decision several times.

Due to the away success, the slot team strengthened its top position. The lead over the second in the table Arsenal was eleven points after the final whistle, with the Reds playing a game more than the competition. As fourth in the table, one was already 20 points behind the leader.
