    The Reaction: Nine points clear as dominant Reds defeat City
    Dec 1 2024
    Liverpool moved nine points clear at the top of the Premier League as Manchester City were beaten 2-0 at Anfield.

    Cody Gakpo’s early goal – scored during a blistering opening 20 minutes from the Reds – was supplemented by a 78th-minute penalty from Mohamed Salah as Arne Slot’s side pulled further ahead of Arsenal and Chelsea, who sit joint-second in the table.

    The result means City are now 11 points adrift of the remarkable pace set by Liverpool, who have amassed 34 points from their first 13 top-flight matches of the season.

    Coming up in this podcast we'll hear from Arne Slot and Cody Gakpo as the Reds followed up their Champions League victory over Real Madrid with another emphatic performance to deservedly defeat the Premier League Champions.
