The match started at an electric pace, with both teams pressing forward. City drew first blood in the 21st minute through defender Aymeric Laporte, who headed home a Kevin De Bruyne corner. Liverpool responded well and equalized through Mohamed Salah’s penalty in the 63rd minute. However, City regained the lead just two minutes later through substitute Gabriel Jesus, who tapped in from close range after a brilliant run by De Bruyne. In the 76th minute, City put the game beyond doubt when Phil Foden scored a stunning solo goal. The Englishman dribbled past several Liverpool defenders and curled a shot into the far corner. The victory was a testament to City’s tactical superiority and the brilliance of their attacking players. De Bruyne, in particular, was in inspired form, setting up both of City’s first two goals. Liverpool, on the other hand, struggled to cope with City’s pressing and counter-attacking play. They were also hampered by the absence of key players such as Virgil van Dijk and Fabinho. The result means that City now have a six-point lead over Liverpool in the Premier League table. With just six games remaining, Pep Guardiola’s men are now strong favorites to retain their title. For Liverpool, the defeat is a setback in their quest to challenge for the championship. They will now need to regroup and hope for a collapse from City in the final weeks of the season.
