Liverpool may have said goodbye to their goal of repeating the title they won last season after losing at home on Wednesday to Brighton (1-0), which distanced them by another three points from Manchester City, who won without problems before the Burnley.
If just two weeks ago, Liverpool lost a game at Anfield after 68 games, this Wednesday they relapsed and lost on the 22nd day of the Premier League due to a solitary goal scored by the young Colombian forward Steven Alzate shortly before the time game (minute 56).
Liverpool, who host City on Sunday, are now seven points behind Pep Guardiola’s team, who also have one game less, and have also lost the podium place in favor of Leicester.
Without too much trouble, Manchester City won 2-0 on their visit to Burnley to once again become the Premier League’s solo leader after the 22nd round of the English championship.
Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring as soon as the game started (2) and Raheem Sterling sentenced just before the break (38).
In this way, the City added its 13th consecutive victory – nine of them in the Premier League – a record in the club’s history.
The last English elite club to have so many successes in a row was Arsenal almost two decades ago, in 2002.
With this victory, Pep Guardiola’s team adds 47 points, three more than Manchester United (2nd), which on Tuesday had overwhelmed Southampton (9-0).
In another match played so far this Wednesday, Leicester recovered from their setback last weekend (home loss to Leeds) and won, also 2-0, in their visit to Fulham (18th).
The ‘Foxes’ are placed third (42 points) in the classification, with two points of advantage over Liverpool and four over West Ham, who won 3-1 in his visit to Aston Villa (9th) with a double from international Jesse Lingard.
These are the impressions of the Anglo-Colombian player after the game:
