Liverpool’s Dominance Shines in 2-0 Victory Over Man City
So, let’s talk about this huge Premier League showdown—Manchester City vs. Liverpool. It was supposed to be a battle between two giants, but Liverpool came in with a point to prove and left the Etihad with a statement 2-0 victory. And honestly, it feels like this could be the moment we look back on and say, "Yeah, that’s when Liverpool sealed the title."
On a rainy, gloomy day in Manchester, City just couldn’t match Liverpool’s energy, precision, and sheer hunger. The visitors took control from the start, and once Mohamed Salah put them ahead, there was a sense that this game was only going one way. It was a brilliantly executed corner routine—Alexis Mac Allister played it short, Dominik Szoboszlai flicked it on, and Salah, always in the right place, fired it home with a bit of help from a deflection. Vintage Liverpool.

City had their moments, sure. Jeremy Doku looked lively in the opening stages, and Phil Foden tried to make things happen, but without Erling Haaland leading the line, they lacked that cutting edge. Haaland, by the way, was in the stands watching, still recovering from his knee injury. Pep Guardiola admitted after the match that the Norwegian wasn’t quite ready to return, but he’s hopeful he’ll be back soon. City could have used him in this one, no doubt.
Then came the second goal—another example of Liverpool’s ruthlessness. Salah, once again involved, raced onto a Trent Alexander-Arnold pass and squared it for Szoboszlai, who smashed it past Ederson. That was it. Game over. City never really looked like they had an answer.
Now, Guardiola is trying to stay optimistic. He talked about the "bright future" of his young squad, highlighting players like Jeremy Doku and Savinho, and insisting that City will be back stronger. But let’s be real—this season has been a struggle. This was City’s eighth league defeat, leaving them fourth in the table, 20 points behind Liverpool. That’s not where they expected to be at this stage.
On the other hand, Liverpool are absolutely flying. They’re now 11 points clear at the top, and with Arsenal’s surprise loss to West Ham, it’s hard to see anyone catching them. Their fans certainly believe it—by the end of the match, chants of "We’re gonna win the league" were echoing around the Etihad. And who’s arguing with them right now?
So, is the title race officially over? It sure feels like it. Liverpool have been relentless, and performances like this prove why they deserve to be champions. For City, it’s now about damage control—securing a top-four spot and figuring out what needs to change for next season. But as of today, it’s Liverpool’s moment, and they’re not letting go of it anytime soon.
