Pep Guardiola Clashes with Liverpool Fans After Manchester City’s Defeat at Anfield
The Premier League title race took another dramatic turn as Liverpool emerged victorious in a dominant 2-0 win over Manchester City, pushing them nine points clear at the top of the standings. Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City endured their worst losing streak in years, with this defeat marking their seventh consecutive match without a win. With only one victory in their last 11 matches across all competitions, City’s freefall continues to raise concerns about their once-imposing reign under Guardiola.
The match, played at Anfield, was a devastating blow for City, who looked disjointed and out of sync from the first whistle. Despite some strong early chances, the visitors fell behind early in the 12th minute, with Cody Gakpo capitalizing on a pinpoint assist from Mohamed Salah. The goal came from a lapse in concentration by City’s Kyle Walker, who allowed Gakpo far too much space. From then on, Liverpool took full control of the game, creating several opportunities to extend their lead.

The second half saw City try to rally, but their defensive errors continued to haunt them. Salah, who had been a constant threat, was denied a chance to make it 2-0 early in the second half, but soon after, Walker was once again at fault, as his poor clearance led to a penalty for Liverpool. Salah made no mistake from the spot, doubling the advantage and effectively sealing the win for Liverpool.
After the full-time whistle, Guardiola found himself embroiled in a tense moment with the Anfield crowd, who taunted him with chants of "You're getting sacked in the morning." The Manchester City manager responded defiantly by raising six fingers, symbolizing his six Premier League titles as a counterpoint to the mockery. It was a fiery exchange that highlighted the growing tensions around the City manager, who is now facing the worst run of his managerial career, with four consecutive league losses—a first for him.
The loss has left Manchester City languishing in fifth place, a staggering 11 points behind Liverpool, and it’s clear that their title defense is in tatters. As Guardiola faces mounting pressure, Liverpool, under Arne Slot’s guidance, seem to be growing stronger, making their claim for the title even more convincing. With every passing week, the gap between the two teams appears harder to bridge for City, and Liverpool’s confidence continues to soar as they edge closer to reclaiming the league crown.
