The visitors continued to dominate possession and create chances, with Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva pulling the strings in midfield. Liverpool struggled to find their rhythm, with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane well-marshaled by City’s disciplined defense. The Reds’ only real threat came from Trent Alexander-Arnold’s crosses, but the City backline dealt with them comfortably. In the second half, City doubled their lead through Raheem Sterling in the 63rd minute. The England international was left unmarked at the back post and headed home a cross from De Bruyne. Liverpool showed some spirit in response, but their efforts were met with resilience and organization from the visitors. The victory was sealed in the 83rd minute when Phil Foden slotted home a clinical finish after a superb assist from Sterling. The goal sent the traveling City fans into raptures and extinguished any lingering hopes of a Liverpool comeback. The result leaves Manchester City eight points clear of Manchester United at the top of the table, with Liverpool now 14 points behind.
