Liverpool made a powerful statement in the Premier League on Sunday with a 2-0 victory over Manchester City, propelling them to an impressive 11-point lead over Arsenal at the summit of the table. 🌟
Mohamed Salah was once again the standout performer, netting his 30th goal of the season and assisting Dominik Szoboszlai to double the lead before halftime. \"It is special. Especially when you are in the title race, it is incredible,\" Salah remarked after Liverpool's first league triumph at the Etihad in a decade. \"Me and the big guys in the team, we need another title.\" 🥇
This win comes just days after Manchester City's exit from the Champions League to Real Madrid, leaving the reigning English champions now 20 points behind Liverpool in the standings. Under Pep Guardiola's leadership, Manchester City has been a formidable force, but Liverpool's current form under Arne Slot suggests a new era is dawning. ⚽️
Arne Slot, in his first season in charge, expressed determination: \"We work every single day to achieve this and it is three months of very hard work (ahead) to maintain this. It is important to understand why we are where we are.\" 💪
Arsenal's recent 1-0 loss to West Ham provided some relief to Liverpool, which had been under pressure after dropping points in prior matches. Meanwhile, Liverpool showcased resilience as they navigated Manchester City's defensive weaknesses and capitalized on their talisman's form. 🌐
Elsewhere in the league, Newcastle dazzled with a 4-3 victory over Nottingham Forest, enhancing their Champions League hopes with an electrifying seven-goal thriller. 🔥
