Manchester City Outclassed in Liverpool Defeat
Manchester City’s struggles continued as they succumbed to a 2-0 defeat at Anfield, extending their winless streak to seven matches. Liverpool’s strong performance left Pep Guardiola’s side without answers, while the home crowd added to the drama with chants questioning Guardiola’s future.
Dominant Liverpool Set the Tone
From the first whistle, Liverpool applied relentless pressure on Manchester City. The breakthrough came in the 12th minute when Cody Gakpo finished a precise cross from Mohamed Salah, leaving City’s defense helpless. Liverpool continued to dominate possession and chances, setting the stage for a comfortable afternoon at Anfield.
Salah Seals the Win
In the second half, Mohamed Salah turned from provider to scorer. The Egyptian forward’s goal secured Liverpool’s victory, marking another disappointing result for Manchester City. It was a clinical performance from Arne Slot’s men, showcasing their growing confidence and ability to capitalize on opposition weaknesses.
Pep Guardiola Reacts to Pressure
The defeat was not just painful on the pitch but also in the stands. Anfield reverberated with chants of “getting sacked,” directed at Pep Guardiola. The City boss, however, remained calm in his post-match comments, choosing to focus on the team’s need for improvement rather than addressing the speculation.
Liverpool’s victory over Manchester City highlighted the contrasting fortunes of the two sides. While Arne Slot’s team looks composed and in form, City continues to face mounting pressure as their winless run stretches to seven games. Whether Guardiola can turn the tide remains the key question in the coming weeks.
