Liverpool opened up a nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League as Man City’s crisis deepened in a 2-0 defeat at Anfield on Sunday.
Cody Gakpo’s 12th minute goal was scant reward for the Reds’ first half domination and they sealed an 18th win in 20 games under Arne Slot thanks to Mohamed Salah’s penalty.
Man City are now 11 points off the runaway leaders down in fifth and winless in seven games, including six defeats.
