Liverpool delivered a stunning performance against Manchester City, securing a 2-0 victory at the Etihad Stadium that further cements their position at the top of the Premier League, according to Flashscore.
The away fans erupted in celebration just 15 minutes into the match when Dominik Szoboszlai flicked a near-post corner from Alexis Mac Allister toward Mohamed Salah, who capitalized on a deflection off Nathan Aké to open the scoring.
City attempted to respond, and a goal from Omar Marmoush was disallowed for offside after a pass from Phil Foden. However, Liverpool executed their defensive strategy and counterattacking play effectively, doubling their lead shortly after. Trent Alexander-Arnold lifted a ball over the top to Salah, who made a powerful run down the right flank before laying it off for Szoboszlai, who finished calmly to extend Liverpool's advantage.
Despite being down 2-0 at halftime, City had previously shown resilience, but there were few signs of a comeback this time. Liverpool continued to create chances, with a goal from Curtis Jones disallowed for offside and Ederson forced to stretch to deny Luis Díaz's curling effort. Meanwhile, City appeared disjointed, struggling to connect passes and create meaningful opportunities as the rain began to fall.
As the match wore on, the atmosphere became increasingly one-sided, with only the traveling Liverpool supporters lifting their voices in celebration. This victory marked Liverpool's first league double over City in several years and highlights their dominance this season. With crucial matches on the horizon, including a League Cup final and a UEFA Champions League tie against Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool is poised to capitalize on their current momentum.
In recognition of his pivotal role in the victory, Mohamed Salah was named the Player of the Match, further solidifying his status as a key player in Liverpool's title push.
