LONDON, Jan 3 — Leaders Manchester City were the beneficiaries as Chelsea and Liverpool shared the spoils in a thrilling 2-2 Premier League draw on Sunday, while Leeds United pulled eight points clear of the relegation zone with a 3-1 win over Burnley.
Despite Liverpool’s coach Jurgen Klopp, goalkeeper Alisson, Roberto Firmino and Joel Matip all missing the match having tested positive for Covid-19, the Reds looked set to close the gap on City to nine points after racing into a 2-0 lead. The two title chasers had to settle for a point, however, with City the real winners as they stand 10 point clear and remain firm favourites to retain their Premier League crown.
The refreshed hosts dominated the first half and led 1-0 going into the break through Jack Harrison before Burnley substitute Maxwel Cornet pegged the hosts back nine minutes into the second half. “Even if the performance today was a step forward, we need to maintain that level against any opponent. We showed a lot of commitment today.”
