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. Liverpool have been used to second best during Pep Guardiola's era at Manchester City, but a 2-0 victory over the crisis-hit champions left little doubt over who are the team to beat in this season's Premier League title race. Goals in either half from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah at Anfield on Sunday did not do justice to the scale of the Reds' domination as City succumbed to a sixth defeat in a seven-game winless run. Arsenal and Chelsea are now Liverpool's closest challengers, nine points behind, with City 11 back and almost cer...

Liverpool go top of Premier League with 2-1 win over hapless Wolves

Ibrahima Konate headed home his first ever Premier League goal and Mohamed Salah converted a penalty as Liverpool climbed to the top of the Premier League table with a 2-1 victory over struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday (Sept 28). Arne Slot's men have 15 points after six games, one more than both Manchester City and Arsenal, while Wolves are bottom with a single point. "Feels good [to be top], you want to be up there but it doesn't tell me that much at the moment," Slot told Sky Sports. "If you look at Wolves they are down in the table but they played much better than that today. "After 19 games, it'll tell me something but not after six." Konate scored in first-half injury time after Diogo Jota beat his man down the left then served up a pinpoint cross that the 25-year-old cen...

Ruthless Liverpool claim pre-season derby bragging rights

Fabio Carvalho, Curtis Jones and Kostas Tsimikas were all on the scoresheet for Arne Slot’s side against the Red Devils, who created plenty of chances but now go into the Community Shield off the back of a third defeat in five games this summer. Manchester United's Cameroonian goalkeeper #24 Andre Onana fails to stop a goal by Liverpool's Portuguese midfielder #28 Fabio Carvalho (off frame) during the pre-season club friendly football match between Manchester United and Liverpool at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina, August 3, 2024.
