London, October 16 (BNA): Mohamed Salah ended Manchester City’s unbeaten start to the season with his second-half goal to secure Liverpool’s 1-0 victory over the Premier League champions on Sunday.
On a dramatic day at Anfield, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was sent off for a severe evasion of his technical area, while City boss Pep Guardiola angrily protested to his fans after seeing Phil Foden’s goal disallowed by the video assistant referee.
Salah – who scored the fastest hat-trick in history against Rangers on Wednesday – provided the decisive moment in the 76th minute after Alisson’s clever long-distance shot right at his feet.
The race is clear, Salah hits a shot past Ederson to lead Liverpool forward. Just minutes ago, the striker thought he was about to be substituted when his number was wrongly raised as Klopp prepared to make changes.
The defeat for City leaves Guardiola’s side four points behind leaders Arsenal, who beat Leeds 1-0 earlier in the day, the Associated Press reported.
