Manchester City failed to end its series of negative results by falling away from home to Liverpool, with two unanswered goals, today, Sunday, in a match hosted by Anfield Stadium in the 13th round of the English Premier League.

The Reds' double was scored by Cody Jacobo and Mohamed Salah (penalty kick) in the 12th and 78th minutes, raising the team's score to 34 points at the top of the standings, while Man City stopped at 23 points in fifth place.

Liverpool pressed from the beginning, hoping to score an early goal, and the first most dangerous attempt was by Soboslaj, who fired a shot into the far left corner, but Ortega blocked it brilliantly.

Van Dijk rose to the cross, directing a header that missed the goal, before Jacobo succeeded in scoring the goal that put the Reds ahead after meeting a perfect cross from Salah, with a touch into the net.

Van Dijk returned to meet another cross from a corner, but his header attempt failed as the ball passed near the right post.

Jacopo returned to threaten the goal of the retreating Sky team, with a shot from a direct touch over the crossbar.

The visitors had the first opportunity in the 39th minute through Rico Luis, who received a ball on the edge of the penalty area, directing a shot that passed near the left post.

Liverpool maintained its lead until the end of the first half, which saw it significantly outperform its guest.

A few minutes after the start of the second half, Robertson sent a silky through pass towards Jacobo, who received the ball and tried to put it into the net, had it not been for Matthew Nunez's wonderful intervention, it turned into a corner.

Liverpool's attempts to reach City's net from the corners continued, as Van Dijk rose to a new cross, directing the ball with his head over the crossbar.

Bernardo Silva received a pass from Walker inside the penalty area, but he neutralized the danger of the attack by shooting it wide of the goal.

Salah missed the opportunity to achieve a goal for the hosts after he retrieved a ball in the middle of the field and set off alone with Ortega, but he strangely shot the ball above the goal.

Salah returned to threatening Ortega's goal after he made an individual effort with great skill before shooting the ball from the edge of the area, so that it passed next to the left post.

Ortega saved his goal from conceding the second goal with his wonderful save of Alexander Arnold's shot from inside the penalty area, before returning to block another shot fired by Jacobo from outside the penalty area.

The referee awarded a penalty kick in favor of the Reds due to Ortega obstructing Diaz the moment he was alone with him, and Salah executed it successfully, scoring the Reds’ second goal.

Van Dijk committed a grave mistake after losing the ball in front of his team’s penalty area after pressure from De Bruyne, but the latter failed to put the ball into the net after Kelleher blocked it brilliantly.
