Liverpool FC has strengthened its position at the top of the Premier League by defeating Manchester City 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium, extending their lead to 11 points with 11 games remaining in the season.

Mohamed Salah opened the scoring with a goal before halftime, and Dominik Szoboszlai doubled the advantage in the second half. Salah’s performance was particularly noteworthy, as he reached 25 Premier League goals for the season and provided an assist, contributing to 51 goal involvements this season. This achievement places him among the top contributors in the league.

Manager Arne Slot expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance, acknowledging the challenges ahead. He stated, “Eleven games to go and they will all be difficult, like the one today.” Slot emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and not becoming complacent as the season progresses.

The victory has significant implications for the title race. Arsenal, the closest competitors, are now 11 points behind Liverpool, having played one game less. With only 11 matches remaining, Liverpool’s commanding lead positions them strongly to secure the Premier League title.

Looking ahead, Liverpool will play seven of their remaining 11 Premier League games at Anfield, including a crucial match against Arsenal on May 10. This favorable fixture list could be pivotal in their pursuit of the championship.

As the season nears its conclusion, Liverpool’s consistent performance and strategic planning have placed them in an advantageous position to clinch the Premier League title.
