Liverpool kept Manchester City under complete control

In one of the Premier League’s marquee clashes this season, Liverpool secured a commanding 2-0 victory over Manchester City on Sunday. The match showcased not only Liverpool’s dominance but also some remarkable statistics that caught the attention of football analysts.

City Stifled Like Never Before

Under the tactical mastery of Arne Slot, Liverpool kept Manchester City under complete control. Guardiola's side managed their first shot on target only in the 39th minute — the latest they’ve recorded their first attempt in a match since Pep took charge.

Meanwhile, Liverpool unleashed 18 shots on goal, the highest tally City has faced from any opponent this season. The hosts were relentless in their attacking efforts, setting a tone that left City struggling to keep up.

Record-Breaking xG for Liverpool

Liverpool’s expected goals (xG) stood at an impressive 3.6 — the second-highest recorded against a Guardiola-led City in the Premier League. Only Chelsea, in a 2-1 victory in June 2020, managed a higher xG (4.4) during Pep’s reign.

This result not only bolstered Liverpool’s title credentials but also highlighted their ability to perform at an elite level in high-stakes encounters.
