Liverpool 3-1 Man City: Reds go nine clear of champions with fine win

Liverpool struck a potentially decisive blow in the Premier League title race as victory over reigning champions Manchester City at Anfield opened up an eight-point lead at the top of the table.

Manchester City were threatening in possession but Jürgen Klopp's team are ruthless in attack, as proved when Mohamed Salah doubled their lead six minutes later, heading in at the far post from Andrew Robertson's superb cross. A huge roar went up from the Kop as Liverpool's players gathered in front of it after the final whistle. Such is their form this season, with 11 wins from 12 league games, that it is surely their title to lose now. This is a team who have lost one of their past 51 league games - where will the numerous slips needed for them to lose this lead come from?
