Leaders Liverpool answered with a 3-2 win over bottom side Southampton on Sunday, while Manchester City's early-season skid continued and built an eight-point lead for Premier League leaders Liverpool after Mohamed Salah led a second-half comeback for the visitors.
Liverpool had trailed 2-1 when Salah scored twice in the second half to take his league season's tally to 10 goals and two behind league's top scorer Erling Haaland of Manchester City.
After City lost their third consecutive league game on Saturday, a 4-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool took full advantage and Arne Slot's side now have 31 points from 12 games to City's 23 ahead of their clash at Anfield next weekend.
"They were very important, especially after being down 2-1. It's the most important thing to have won the game," Salah said.
