Manchester City put on a dominant performance at the Etihad stadium, overpowering Liverpool’s defense and scoring four goals in a breathtaking display of skill and precision. The defending champions showed their class once again and demonstrated why they are among the favorites to retain the Premier League title this season.
The game got off to a promising start for Liverpool, with Mohammed Salah scoring the opening goal in the 17th minute. However, City responded quickly, with Julian Alvarez stepping up to equalize for City ten minutes later in place of the injured Erling Haaland. The first half ended with the score tied at 1-1, setting up an exciting second half.
City came out of the break firing on all cylinders, and it only took them seconds to take the lead. Kevin de Bruyne tapped in a goal to put the Sky Blues ahead, and they never looked back. Ilkay Gundogan added to the lead in the 53rd minute, and Jack Grealish put the final nail in the coffin with a goal in the 74th minute, leaving Jurgen Klopp’s side in utter despair.
Liverpool has struggled recently, losing their last three games in all competitions since their impressive 7-0 victory over Manchester United. Despite this poor form, they are still fighting for a spot in the Champions League, although they are currently seven points adrift of the last qualifying spot.
Meanwhile, Manchester City’s victory over Liverpool has brought them five points closer to Arsenal, who are playing against Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium. City is determined to defend their title and will be looking to build on this impressive win as they continue their campaign for the Premier League trophy.
