The Liverpool players scored a victory in the derby of the 13th round of the Premier League against Manchester City, with the goals of Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah.

In this way, they increased their lead over City by 11 points in the table. After this defeat, the "citizens" fell to fifth place with 23 points.

Liverpool dominated early in the match and in the 12th minute, Gakpo scored the first goal.

In addition to the goal, Virgil van Dijk hit the post and Liverpool continued to press, while City did not show anything significant in the attacking half.

The match was halted in the 78th minute when Stefan Ortega brought down Luis Diaz in the penalty area and Salah scored from the penalty spot to make it 2-0.

City could have got back into the game after a mistake by Van Dijk, but Caoimhin Kelleher stopped Kevin De Bruyne's effort from close range.

Pep Guardiola thus continued his record streak without a win in seven games, and in this period he recorded up to six defeats.

Liverpool will have a visit to Newcastle United, while City will look to break the black streak at home to Nottingham Forest.
