English Premier League

Liverpool 3 – 1 Manchester City

Premier League leaders Liverpool moved eight points clear with a fine win over champions Manchester City.

Fabinho’s brilliant strike gave Liverpool a sixth-minute lead, but City was convinced they should have had a penalty seconds earlier for a handball by Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Mohamed Salah quickly doubled the lead, and Sadio Mane added a third with a diving header after half-time.

Bernardo Silva pulled a goal back, but Man City is now nine points off the pace.
