Liverpool 2-1 Manchester City
Matchday 27 | Premier League
Yaya Touré and his Manchester City side suffered a significant setback in their title chase on Sunday, falling 2-1 to Liverpool at Anfield during the 27th round of the Premier League.
🔥 Henderson and Coutinho Steal the Show
Liverpool opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a stunning long-range strike from Jordan Henderson. Although Edin Džeko responded with a well-worked equalizer for City in the 25th minute, it was Philippe Coutinho who sealed the match with another brilliant goal in the 75th minute, curling a shot beyond Joe Hart.
🔵 City Falter, 🔴 Reds Rise
Manchester City, despite Yaya Touré’s presence in midfield, couldn’t impose themselves and paid for lapses in defense.
The defeat sees City remain second, now further behind league leaders Chelsea.
Liverpool, on the other hand, climbed to fifth, level on points with Arsenal (who have a game in hand), and reignited their hopes for a top-four finish.
A costly slip for Manchester City—and a big boost for Brendan Rodgers’ resurgent Reds.
