Liverpool Stun Man City 2-0 as Mohamed Salah Shines in Premier League Title Charge!
Liverpool took another massive leap toward reclaiming the Premier League crown with a dominant 2-0 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad on Sunday. The Reds’ talisman, Mohamed Salah, proved once again why he’s one of the most lethal forwards in world football, scoring the opener and setting up Dominik Szoboszlai for the second, leaving City’s title hopes in tatters.
Liverpool’s Title Dreams Strengthen, City’s Collapse Continues
With this crucial win, Arne Slot’s Liverpool now sit comfortably at the top of the table with 64 points from 27 matches, extending their lead over second-place Arsenal to 11 points. While the Gunners still have a game in hand, the Reds have one hand on the trophy as they continue their march toward Premier League glory.
For Manchester City, the nightmare deepens. The defending champions, who were once favorites for an unprecedented fifth consecutive title, have now slipped to fourth place with just 44 points. What started as a season of dominance has now spiraled into a desperate fight for a Champions League spot.
Salah’s Masterclass: The Moment That Silenced the Etihad
It didn’t take long for Liverpool’s main man to make his mark. In the 14th minute, the Reds earned a corner, and as City struggled to clear their lines, Salah pounced on the opportunity. From just outside the box, he unleashed a thunderous strike that took a wicked deflection off Nathan Ake’s outstretched foot, leaving Ederson helpless as the ball rocketed into the back of the net.
That league-leading 25th goal of the season cemented Salah’s status as the most dangerous forward in England, while sending City fans into stunned silence.
Szoboszlai Strikes as City’s Defense Falls Apart
Liverpool’s dominance continued, and City’s defense crumbled yet again in the 37th minute. A breathtaking counterattack saw Salah slip a perfect pass into the box, where Dominik Szoboszlai found himself completely unmarked. The Hungarian coolly slotted the ball past Ederson, doubling the lead and piling misery onto the already frustrated home crowd.
As the rain poured down over Manchester, the mood in the Etihad turned even gloomier. Pep Guardiola could only watch in frustration as his side failed to respond, while Liverpool’s traveling supporters erupted in celebration.
What’s Next?
Liverpool now firmly control their destiny, with the Premier League title looking more and more like a realistic dream. If they continue at this pace, Arne Slot’s men could be celebrating glory before the season’s final whistle.
For City, the focus may have already shifted—not to title defense, but to simply securing a top-four finish and avoiding one of the biggest collapses of the Guardiola era.
One thing is certain—this season’s title race is heating up, and Liverpool just turned up the temperature.
🔥 Can anyone stop them? Stay tuned for more updates as the battle for Premier League supremacy continues!
