Liverpool manager Arne Slot offered little solace to Pep Guardiola following his team’s 2-0 victory, which handed Manchester City their fourth consecutive Premier League defeat and expanded the points gap to 11 between the two sides.
Slot praised his team for their solid performance but urged caution, emphasizing that the season was far from decided. “It’s a good result for us, but there’s still a long way to go before we can think about titles,” he remarked.
Guardiola took the loss with composure, congratulating Liverpool and recognizing the struggles his team faced. “The first 20 minutes were tough for us,” he admitted. “We need to rediscover our attacking edge.”
Despite the win, Liverpool’s victory came with a price as defenders Conor Bradley and Ibrahima Konate both picked up injuries. Still, Guardiola remained hopeful about Manchester City’s chances, expressing confidence in their ability to bounce back and stay in the title race.
In this latest encounter in their ongoing rivalry, Liverpool emerged victorious, while Manchester City now faces the task of reflecting on their weaknesses and planning their next move.
