The reigning champion can no longer do it.
Liverpool, who had already lost four times since the start of the year, missed what looked very much like their last chance to pick up the top spots this Sunday against Manchester City.
Weighted down by their goalkeeper Alisson, authors of two monumental recovery errors when the score was 1-1, the Reds sank at Anfield (1-4) during the 23rd day of the Premier League.
Potentially 8 points ahead of United
City had missed a penalty in the first half, but Gundogan, who sent the ball into the stands, made up for it by scoring twice.
Sterling and Foden closed the festival.
The penalty scored by Salah will not console the locals.
With this success, the men of Pep Guardiola, who had never won on the lawn of Liverpool, take 5 steps ahead of their dolphin, Manchester United, hung in the last second on Saturday by Everton (3-3), but especially 10 points on the Reds (4th), while they have one game less than these two teams.
They are well on their way to winning a new league title.
