Manchester City narrowed the gap at the top of the Premier League to six points following a hard-fought 2-1 win against Liverpool at Anfield.
Pep Guardiola hailed Manchester City’s “exceptional” performance after securing a dramatic 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Anfield.
Late goals from Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland allowed the visitors to close the gap on league leaders Arsenal to six points.
This win marked Guardiola’s first-ever victory in front of a capacity Anfield crowd, further denting Liverpool’s hopes of securing a Champions League qualification spot.
Reflecting on the milestone, Guardiola joked about his previous 2021 win behind closed doors, stating: “That [2021 win] doesn’t count, right?” He emphasized the difficulty of the atmosphere, adding, “Anfield is Anfield, the tradition, the history and the crowd.”
Despite a second-half surge from the Reds, City’s composure proved decisive as they sustained their pursuit of a fourth consecutive Premier League title.
