EPL: Liverpool beat Manchester City 2-0 to extend lead to 11 points

Liverpool delivered a statement victory at the Etihad, cruising past a faltering Manchester City side to open up an 11-point lead at the top of the Premier League table.

Arne Slot’s team executed their game plan to perfection, securing their first league win at City in a decade.

Mohamed Salah broke the deadlock in the 14th minute with a deflected strike from a well-worked corner routine.

The Egyptian then turned provider, setting up Dominik Szoboszlai for a clinical second just before halftime.

City dominated possession but lacked cutting edge, suffering their 14th defeat across all competitions since October.

Kevin De Bruyne’s return failed to spark Guardiola’s side, who struggled without Erling Haaland and other key players.

Liverpool, unbeaten in the league during the same period, now appear to be in full control of the title race.
