Mohamed Salah was on target again as Liverpool took a significant stride towards their second Premier League title with a 2-0 win over champions Manchester City.

The Egyptian also created another for Dominik Szoboszlai as Arne Slot's side claimed a crucial victory at the Etihad Stadium which lifted Arne Slot's side 11 points clear at the top of the table.

Salah's goal took him to 30 for the season in all competitions for a fifth time in his Liverpool career and his pass for Szoboszlai meant he had scored and assisted in 11 separate league games this term.

Despite that, aside from a Szoboszlai shot which was blocked by Rico Lewis, City actually started well as they looked to at least land a blow on one of their strongest rivals of recent years.

They won a couple of early corners, Jeremy Doku looked like he could be a handful for Trent Alexander-Arnold and Phil Foden shot at Alisson Becker.

From then it largely became a rearguard action by Liverpool as they looked to sit back and protect their lead.

The visiting Liverpool fans chanted they were going to win the league and, after such a statement victory over a once-powerful opponent, it is clearly closer to becoming reality.
