Liverpool Stuns Manchester City in a Dominant Display at Etihad
What a game, what a statement from Liverpool! The Premier League leaders marched into the Etihad and completely outplayed the defending champions, Manchester City, in a thrilling encounter. Right from the first whistle, Liverpool looked sharp, focused, and hungry for the win, while City seemed out of sorts, struggling to find their usual rhythm.
It didn’t take long for Liverpool to make their mark. Just 15 minutes in, the inevitable happened—Mohamed Salah, the man for the big moments, put his team ahead. A beautifully executed counterattack saw Szoboszlai pick out Salah, who made no mistake, slotting the ball past Ederson. It was his 30th goal of the season, and once again, he proved why he’s one of the most feared forwards in the league.

City did try to respond, but they just couldn’t find their flow. De Bruyne, usually the mastermind of City’s attack, looked frustrated and off his game. Doku tried to provide some spark down the wing, but Liverpool’s defense, led by Van Dijk and Konaté, was rock solid. And then, in the 37th minute, Liverpool struck again. This time, it was Dominik Szoboszlai getting on the scoresheet after some brilliant play from Salah. A calm, composed finish, and suddenly, Liverpool was 2-0 up at the Etihad.
As the first half ended, it was clear—Liverpool had taken complete control of the match. City had some possession, but they weren’t able to break through Liverpool’s well-organized defense. The absence of Erling Haaland was clearly felt, as City lacked a cutting edge up front. Pep Guardiola’s men looked frustrated, and with every passing minute, their hopes of turning the game around seemed to fade.
For Liverpool, this was more than just three points—it was a statement victory. With this win, they extended their lead at the top of the table, putting themselves in a commanding position in the title race. Arsenal, their closest challengers, now find themselves under immense pressure.
This match had everything—high intensity, tactical battles, and a Liverpool side that looked like true champions. If there were any doubts about their title credentials, they’ve just been silenced. City, on the other hand, now faces an uphill battle to get back into the race.
Liverpool came, they saw, and they conquered. And if they keep playing like this, the Premier League trophy might just be heading back to Anfield.
