Manchester City, decisive victory over Liverpool, score 4-1

The hosts dominated at the beginning of the match, but the goal came to the Cormorants camp: Mo Salah scored on the counterattack in the 17th minute from Diogo Jota’s pass.

But that was pretty much all Liverpool had to offer in Saturday’s game as the reigning Premier League champions scored four times.

In the 27th minute, Alvarez equalized the score, and the cabins were tied.

City took the lead for the first time immediately after the break: De Bruyne (46′) realized Mahrez’s perfect pass from close range.

Gundogan (53′) made it 3-1, and Grealish (74′) completed the attacking performance of Pep Guardiola’s team.

With this result, “Manchester City” moved closer to the leader “Arsenal” by 5 points (the Gunners play “Leeds” on Saturday at 17:00).

Liverpool, on the other hand, remain in 6th place with 42 points, but the Anfield team’s hopes of getting into the Champions League are dwindling.
