AGENCIES: Liverpool struck a potentially decisive blow in the Premier League title race as a victory over reigning champions Manchester City at Anfield opened up an eight-point lead at the top of the table.

The confrontation between the two domestic superpowers had been billed as a defining moment in Liverpool’s 30-year quest to land the title – and this outcome leaves them with a commanding advantage over Leicester City in second place.

Liverpool took the lead after only six minutes when Fabinho flashed a 25-yard drive past keeper Claudio Bravo, deputizing for injured Ederson, the goal given after a video assistant referee check for handball against Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Manchester City was threatening in possession but Jürgen Klopp’s team is ruthless in attack, as proved when Mohamed Salah doubled their lead six minutes later, heading in at the far post from Andrew Robertson’s superb cross.
