Liverpool took another step toward the Premier League title with a 2-0 win at Manchester City after talisman Mohamed Salah scored the team’s first goal and set up Dominik Szoboszlai for the second on Sunday.
Arne Slot’s side have 64 points from 27 matches and are 11 ahead of second-place Arsenal, who have a game in hand. City are fourth with 44 points as their early-season quest for a fifth consecutive title has unravelled into a chase for a Champions League berth.
Salah struck his league-leading 25th goal of the season in the 14th minute following a corner with a blistering shot from near the top of box that deflected off the outstretched foot of City defender Nathan Ake and past goalkeeper Ederson.
Szoboszlai took advantage of City’s atrocious defending to double the lead in the 37th minute. Salah found the unmarked Hungary international in the box for an easy pass into the net, to the dismay of City fans, whose dismal mood was matched by the driving rain.Â
