Liverpool beat Manchester City in Premier League title rivals clash

Liverpool have moved nine points clear at the top of the Premier League after a potentially season-defining 2-0 victory over Manchester City.

Cody Gakpo's 12th-minute strike was all the hosts had for an opening barrage and it needed Mohamed Salah's late penalty - the sixth successive league match in which he has scored and his sixth goal in eight appearances against City - to secure the points.

Manchester City are now 11 points adrift in fifth after a seventh match without a victory.

Pep Guardiola's team have lost four league games in a row in the same campaign for the first time since 2007.

Arsenal are the closest challengers but even they have work to do after Arne Slot's side won an 18th match out of 20 this term with a degree of comfort.
