The Reds maintained their good run of form in the Premier League with a comfortable 3-1 victory over defending champions City at Anfield on Sunday evening.
Easy-Peasy
Jurgen Klopp’s side went ahead in the game as early as the sixth minute when Brazil international defensive midfielder Fabinho found the net with a brilliant drive from 25 yards.
Egypt international forward Mohamed Salah doubled the advantage for Liverpool in the 13th minute when he headed in at the far post from a cross from Scotland international left-back Andrew Robertson.
Liverpool went 3-0 ahead just six minutes into the second half, as Sadio Mane nodded home a brilliant delivery from Jordan Henderson.
City pulled one back on 78 minutes through Bernardo Silva, but it was too little, too late for Pep Guardiola’s side.
Title Favourites
The result at Anfield means that Liverpool are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment with 34 points from 12 matches, as many as eight points clear of second-placed Leicester City and nine points ahead of fourth-placed City.
