In what could be a pivotal bout in the Premier League title race, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool outlasted Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City 1-0. The Sky Blues weren’t terrible, but they weren’t good enough. When City only gets its first corner kick late in the first half and starts looking dangerous 55 minutes in, it’s not a recipe for success. Guardiola’s men didn’t have a moment of brilliance or a piece of inspiration to change the match in its favor. In the eighth minute, Adam Lallana and Georginio Wijnaldum did for the Reds. Putting aside Liverpool’s organization and work ethic, that was the difference.
