Liverpool's Statement Win at Man City All But Seals the Title
Alright, let’s talk about what just happened at the Etihad. Liverpool have gone into Manchester City’s backyard and walked away with a 2-0 victory that pretty much puts the Premier League title in their hands. If you weren’t sure before, you should be now—Liverpool are going to be champions.
With just 11 matches left in the season, they sit 11 points clear of Arsenal at the top of the table. And let's be honest, can you really see this Liverpool side, who have lost just once all season, suddenly crumbling? Not a chance. Seven of their remaining fixtures are at Anfield, where they are nearly unbeatable. So, unless something truly bizarre happens, the title is heading to Merseyside.
This win against City wasn’t just about the three points—it was a statement. Liverpool fans knew it too. With the clock winding down, their chants of "We're going to win the league" echoed around the Etihad, a stadium that has seen so many title celebrations in recent years. Only this time, it wasn’t City lifting the trophy—it was their rivals telling them to “hand it over.”

Arne Slot deserves massive credit for how he’s taken over from Klopp and kept Liverpool's momentum going. This team might not have the chaotic, heavy-metal energy of the Klopp years, but they are ruthless, efficient, and disciplined. Against City, they had just 33.9% possession—the lowest they’ve ever had in a Premier League win—but it didn’t matter. They soaked up pressure, hit back clinically, and made City look toothless.
And of course, there’s Mohamed Salah. The "Egyptian King" opened the scoring and set up Dominik Szoboszlai for the second, putting the game to bed before halftime. With 30 goals and 21 assists this season, Salah is proving once again why he’s one of the greatest players to ever wear a Liverpool shirt.
For City, this result was a dagger. Pep Guardiola tried to stay optimistic, but deep down, he knows. This title race is over. Arsenal, despite having a game in hand, would need near perfection from here on out, and that just doesn’t seem likely. Liverpool, on the other hand, can afford to slip up a couple of times and still cruise to the finish line.
The numbers back it up too. Liverpool have scored more goals than anyone else this season, taken the most shots, and created the most big chances. They’re top of nearly every stat that matters. This isn't luck—it's dominance.
So, if you’re a Liverpool fan, go ahead and get the parade route ready. The title is heading back to Anfield, and this time, there's no last-day heartbreak, no cruel twists—just a relentless, well-drilled, title-winning machine. The Premier League trophy is theirs to lose.
