What Manchester City feared has happened. Liverpool won against Southampton, meaning the Sky Blues are now 8 points behind the Reds.
This success was not easy for Arne Slot’s team. The first goal of the game came from a superb strike from Dominik Szoboszlai after 30 minutes of play. Twelve minutes later, Adam Armstrong equalized for Roméo Lavia’s former team with a two-step penalty.
And in the second half, it was even Russell Martin’s men who took the lead thanks to Mateus Fernandes, following a superb action. While all Citizens fans were delighted with this result, Mohamed Salah decided to take matters into his own hands.
The Egyptian first equalized in the 65th minute following a long pass, before scoring the goal of chaos in the 83rd minute from the penalty spot. Final score: 2-3 in favor of the Reds.
Next week, Liverpool will face Manchester City in the Premier League. A victory could allow the English team to take an 11-point lead over its direct competitor.
