Manchester City Thrash Liverpool to Regain Premier League ThroneManchester City Thrash Liverpool to Regain Premier League Throne In a resounding display of dominance, Manchester City dismantled arch-rivals Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, securing a 4-0 victory to reclaim their Premier League crown. The hosts started brightly, but City’s quality shone through as they took control of the game. In the 23rd minute, Kevin De Bruyne sent a pinpoint cross to Ilkay Gündogan, who headed home from close range. City doubled their lead just before halftime when Riyad Mahrez converted a penalty after Mohamed Salah was fouled by John Stones. Liverpool’s hopes of a comeback were dashed in the second half. Mahrez scored his second in the 53rd minute, rounding off a flowing team move. The Algerian winger completed his hat-trick in the 63rd minute, hammering home a loose ball from Raheem Sterling’s shot. The result marked City’s fifth Premier League title in six years, cementing their status as England’s dominant force. Liverpool, meanwhile, were left to rue a disappointing end to a season that had promised so much. Manager Pep Guardiola hailed his team’s performance as “exceptional.” “We knew it would be a tough game, but we were prepared and we executed our game plan to perfection,” he said. “This is a special moment for this club, and I am incredibly proud of my players.” Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp admitted that his team was outplayed. “We were simply not good enough today,” he said. “City were the better team, and they deserved to win. We need to learn from this and come back stronger next season.” The victory extended City’s winning streak to 11 games in all competitions and sent a clear message to their rivals: the Cityzens are back on top.
