Liverpool Cruise Past Man City to Go
11 Points clear at EPL Top
Manchester, 24 Feb (ONA) — Liverpool
tightened their vice-like grip on this season’s English Premier League (EPL)
title as they extended their lead to 11 points with a comfortable victory at
Manchester City.
The leaders had already seen their
position strengthened when Arsenal lost at home to West Ham before moving into
what looks like an unassailable position with a superb display against the
fallen reigning champions.
City opened brightly, but were
caught cold by a clever Liverpool corner routine after 14 minutes, Mohamed
Salah scoring his 30th goal of the season after Dominik Szoboszlai played Alex
Mac Allister’s delivery into his path, BBC sports reported.
Salah repaid the compliment eight
minutes before the break, playing in a perfectly weighted delivery for Szoboszlai
to calmly finish low past City keeper Ederson.
Liverpool were able to close out a
hugely significant win without any alarms in the second half, content to
protect the advantage they had established in the first 45 minutes.
