Liverpool hasn바카라t been this close to Manchester City since Christmas Day. (More Football News)
The gap is now down to three points in the Premier League title race 바카라 which once looked heavily in favor of City 바카라 after Liverpool demolished Leeds 6-0 on Wednesday.
Mohamed Salah, naturally, inflicted most of the damage by scoring two goals from the penalty spot and playing a part in two more. Sadio Mane also scored twice.
Liverpool has finally caught up to City in games 바카라 they바카라ve both played 26 in the 38-game season 바카라 and nearly on points.
With Liverpool still to visit City바카라s Etihad Stadium on April 10, there바카라s little to choose between the top two 바카라 the last two winners of English football바카라s biggest prize.
At one stage in the middle of January, City held a 13-point lead, though Liverpool always had games in hand and just needed to keep in sight of the defending champions.
On a run of six straight victories, Jurgen Klopp바카라s team has done just that and looks in prime shape heading into Sunday바카라s League Cup final against Chelsea.
바카라I think for people outside, it is better to have three or six-point gap than to have a 20 or 30-point gap so it is more exciting,바카라 Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said of the title race, 바카라but we have to win a lot of the games against all the difficult opponents and that will be a tricky task.
바카라We will give it a try.바카라
Salah바카라s league-high goal total is up to 19 after being gifted two penalty chances by Leeds바카라 frail defense that has now conceded 16 goals in the team바카라s last four games.
Stuart Dallas blocked Andrew Robertson바카라s cross with his hand to give away the first spot kick that was dispatched by Salah in the 15th minute.
Salah slipped in Joel Matip, marauding forward from center back, for the second goal in the 30th and then converted a second penalty five minutes later after Luke Ayling tripped Sadio Mane, who was bearing down on goal.
Mane added two late goals while there was also time for Virgil van Dijk to head home a corner in the third minute of stoppage time.
바카라It can happen, but I didn바카라t expect it,바카라 Klopp said of the big win. 바카라It바카라s really difficult to defend man-marking against us for 90 minutes.
바카라You cannot defend Mo Salah in all challenges of a game. That is the problem Leeds has and that is why the result is the result.바카라
RELEGATION FIGHT
Tottenham followed up a stunning win at City on Saturday with a 1-0 loss at next-to-last Burnley four days later in a result that shakes up the relegation fight.
Ben Mee headed home a free kick in the 71st minute to earn Burnley a second straight win that moved the team up one place to 18th and to within two points of safety.
Burnley also has games in hand over most the teams near the bottom.
Replacing Burnley in 19th spot was Watford, which lost 4-1 at home to Crystal Palace, for whom Wilfried Zaha scored two late goals.
Leeds is in 15th place and has slipped to within three points of the relegation zone. The bottom seven teams are separated by seven points.
