Liverpool secured a crucial 2-0 victory over Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday. Goals from Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai sealed the win at the Etihad Stadium, keeping Liverpool at the top of the league table with an 11-point lead over second-placed Arsenal.
After the match, Liverpool’s manager, Arne Slot, shared his thoughts on why his team won. He praised Liverpool’s solid defensive performance and their ability to take advantage of counter-attacks.
Slot acknowledged that playing against a Pep Guardiola team is always challenging, especially when it comes to ball possession. However, Liverpool stayed focused on their defensive duties and made the most of their attacking chances.
“Winning at the Etihad is always a big achievement, no matter what the table looks like,” Slot said. “We knew we would have to defend a lot, and we did that well. Our good moments on the counter-attack helped us win the game.”
Liverpool will now shift their focus to their next Premier League match against Newcastle United on Wednesday at Anfield. After that, they will face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League Round of 16 first-leg match on March 5.
