Liverpool took another big step toward the Premier League title with a commanding 2-0 victory over Newcastle United at Anfield on Wednesday. With the win, Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the table to 13 points, putting them in a strong position as the season nears its climax.
With manager Arne Slot serving a suspension, he watched from the stands as his team delivered another dominant performance. Goals from Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister secured the win, continuing Liverpool’s impressive form this season.
Szoboszlai opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a clinical finish, giving the home fans plenty to cheer about early on. Mac Allister doubled the lead in the 63rd minute with a well-placed strike, ensuring Liverpool maintained their momentum in the title race. The victory marked their 20th league win of the season, with just one defeat in 28 matches.
Liverpool’s dominance this season has put them on course to win their first Premier League title since 2020, which would bring them level with Manchester United on 20 English league titles. Their recent performances have made them clear favorites, as rivals struggle to keep pace.
Elsewhere in the league, Arsenal’s title hopes suffered another setback with a disappointing 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest. Despite having a game in hand, Arsenal now face an uphill battle to close the gap on Liverpool. Manager Mikel Arteta had previously stated his team would not give up on the title easily, but the draw at the City Ground may have dealt a serious blow to their chances.
In other matches, Manchester City secured a hard-fought 1-0 win over Tottenham, with Erling Haaland marking his return from injury by scoring the decisive goal. The victory lifted City into fourth place, keeping their hopes of a strong finish alive. Meanwhile, Manchester United managed a dramatic 3-2 win over Ipswich despite going down to 10 men. Harry Maguire’s second-half header sealed the victory for United, helping them end a three-match winless streak in the league.
