Manchester City's draw with Liverpool gives Leicester the lead in the English Premier League

The tie tightened its grip at the top of the eighth stage of the English Premier League, where Manchester City and its guest Liverpool fell in a 1/1 draw today, Sunday, in the most prominent matches of this stage, as Liverpool failed to stand alone at the top and Manchester City failed in a new attempt to improve its position in the competition table.

The two England international strikers, Harry Kane and Jimmy Fardy, wore the championship dress and saved their two teams from the trap of a goalless draw, as the first led his team to Tottenham to a precious 1-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion and the second scored the 1-0 victory for his team Leicester City on Wolverhampton today, Sunday, in the same stage.

And at the "Al Ittihad" stadium in Manchester, Liverpool and Manchester City wasted more than one dangerous opportunity over the two halves of the match to impose the same draw on the exciting confrontation that prevented Liverpool from regaining the lead as Manchester City remained in the center of the competition table.

The first half of the match ended in a 1/1 draw, as Liverpool scored a penalty kick by Egyptian star Mohamed Salah in the 13th minute, and Manchester City tied with a goal scored by Brazilian Gabriel Jesus in the 31st minute.

Salah raised his tally to eight goals in the competition this season, with more than one player participating in the top scorers list so far.

Liverpool raised its score to 17 points in third place, on goal difference only behind Tottenham, compared to 12 points for Manchester City, who advanced one place to 11th place.

Kane gave his team Tottenham Hotspur three points to raise its score to 17 points after achieving his third successive victory in the competition to jump to the top of the competition table before Leicester City snatched it by winning today as well, and Tottenham retreated to second place on goal difference only against Liverpool and only one point ahead of Southampton.
