Liverpool beat Man City to take commanding EPL lead

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola holds up six fingers to the fans indicating the number of Premier League titles he has won after the Premier League match between Liverpool FC and Manchester City FC at Anfield on December 1, 2024 in Liverpool, England.
