Man City vs Liverpool: Reds Hijack Etihad in Jaw-Dropping Premier League Shocker
Man City vs Liverpool: The Premier League’s fiercest rivalry delivered pure chaos Sunday as Liverpool smashed Man City 2-0 at the Etihad, handing Pep Guardiola his first home league loss in 18 months. Mohamed Salah silenced critics with a goal-and-assist masterclass, Dominik Szoboszlai ran circles around City’s midfield, and Arne Slot’s Reds leapfrogged Arsenal to top the EPL standings. Here’s how the carnage unfolded.
Man City vs Liverpool: Salah’s Revenge & Szoboszlai’s Breakout: Key Moments
Salah Silences the Doubters (23’)
After a shaky start, Liverpool struck first. Szoboszlai intercepted Rodri’s lazy pass, surged forward, and slipped a cheeky through-ball to Salah. The Egyptian king cut inside Nathan Aké, curled a banger past Ederson, and stared down City fans with a icy “shhh” celebration. Mic. Dropped.
Szoboszlai’s Rocket Seals It (67’)
Hungary’s golden boy Dominik Szoboszlai put the game to bed with a 25-yard missile. Trent Alexander-Arnold’s corner fell to him at the edge of the box, and he smashed it first-time into the top corner. Cue bedlam in the away section.
Stats That Sting:
- Possession: City 68% – Liverpool 32% (Who cares? LFC had 5 shots on target to City’s 1.)
- XG: Liverpool 2.7 – City 0.8
- Lewis Miley’s Nightmare: The 19-year-old City midfielder lost 8 duels and got subbed at half-time.

Man City vs Liverpool: How Liverpool Out-Tacticed Pep’s Puzzle
Arne Slot’s game plan was chef’s kiss:
- Park the Bus, Then Punch: Let City have the ball, then counter at warp speed.
- Szoboszlai as False 9: The Hungarian drifted wide, dragging defenders out of position for Salah’s runs.
- Van Dijk’s Wall Mode: 9 clearances, 4 interceptions – City’s Haaland? Ghosted.
Pep Guardiola’s tweaks flopped. Moving Phil Foden to CM left City’s attack toothless, and Julián Álvarez’s 58th-minute sub changed nothing.
