Liverpool put on a remarkable display at Anfield as they eased to a 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, significantly narrowing the gap to league leaders Tottenham to just three points. Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, and Mohamed Salah were the stars of the show.
Jota opened the scoring with a close-range finish in the first half, dedicating his goal celebration to the absent Luis Diaz, who was unable to play due to the news of his parents’ kidnapping in Colombia.
Nunez doubled Liverpool’s lead shortly after, expertly converting Dominik Szoboszlai’s cut-back. Salah put the game to bed in the second half, capitalising on an error by Forest goalkeeper Matt Turner.
Despite Forest’s lone chance, an attempt by Anthony Elanga that struck the crossbar, the result was never in question. Manager Jurgen Klopp dedicated the win to Diaz and praised his players for their extraordinary performance in the face of adversity.
Over at Old Trafford, Manchester City delivered a masterclass in the Manchester derby by defeating rival Manchester United 3-0. Erling Haaland was the standout performer, bagging a brace, while Phil Foden added another to secure a resounding victory for the defending champions.
City had faced some struggles on the road recently but demonstrated their superiority over a United side grappling with issues across the pitch. Goalkeeper Andre Onana was United’s saviour, making several crucial saves to prevent an even more lopsided scoreline.
Haaland, who had previously netted a hat-trick in a 6-3 victory against United a year ago, opened the scoring with a penalty, awarded after Rasmus Hojlund’s foul on Rodri in the box. While some pundits labelled it “soft,” former referee Mike Dean deemed it a “clear holding offence.”
Haaland struck again with a powerful header in the second half, capitalising on a chance he had earlier missed, thanks to Onana’s heroics. The striker unselfishly set up Phil Foden for the third goal, solidifying City’s dominance in the rivalry.
With this victory, Manchester City climbed to third in the Premier League standings, just two points behind leaders Tottenham, setting the stage for an exciting race for the title…CONTINUE READING>>
