Liverpool Beats Manchester City 2-0

Liverpool triumphed over Manchester City with a decisive 2-0 victory at Anfield, extending their lead at the top of the Premier League to eleven points. Cody Gakpo scored the opener in the 12th minute, capitalizing on a precise pass from Mohamed Salah, who later converted a penalty in the 78th minute to secure the win. This defeat marks City's fourth consecutive loss in the league, their first such streak since 2008, leaving them in fifth place, significantly behind Liverpool and raising questions about their title defense. Pep Guardiola's side has struggled to find form, now on a seven-game winless run, which is the longest of his managerial career. Liverpool, under Arne Slot, has shown remarkable resilience, winning 18 of their last 20 matches, positioning them as strong title contenders. The result leaves City facing an uphill battle to regain their form as they prepare for crucial upcoming fixtures.
