Come rain or shine must have been the slogan for Liverpool when
they trounced Manchester City and won the Premier League title for the first time
in thirty long years. The 3-1 win crowned Liverpool as the champion when the
team cut the mustard and amounted to the English top-flight record of 11 wins
and a draw after 12 matches which they had achieved the last time on winning the
league in 1990.
Manchester City was dazed by two goals in seven first-half
minutes and was again startled by Liverpool’s unfading counter-attacks. City
was seen to have stopped playing, Sergio Aguero did that when the ball
rebounded aoff the Liverpool penalty area. At first Bernardo Silva was halted
by Dejan Lovren with the ball ricocheted off the City forward’s hand from
point-blank range. And then it went on to fly to strike Trent
Alexander-Arnold’s arm apart from his body.Embed from Getty Images
City tried
to amend the game for which they invited Liverpool for a counter and it came to
light as a bad idea. The first half was about to end and Liverpool had a chance
to point to their own openings. Georginio Wijnaldum was close with sudden
swerves and diverged effort. Not only did Roberto Firmino work Bravo after a
storming Alexander-Arnold run but also did Salah unfurl and extend the
goalkeeper. City bent over backwards, with Sterling emerging dangerous every
now and then, but Liverpool had sealed their own fate and City knew that the
ship had already sailed.Embed from Getty ImagesEmbed from Getty Images
