Firmino takes the penalty.

His feint fooled Caballero, and after tricking Caballero into a pounce on the left, he went straight down the middle and converted the penalty.

“Gooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaal！”

"Two to zero! Liverpool lead Manchester City 2-0 at home! ”

'Now Man City are two goals behind. "To make matters worse, Manchester City's goalkeeper Joe Hart was sent off and now they have one less man on the pitch. ”

"This game is inevitable for Manchester City." Zhang Lu said bluntly, "What Manchester City has to avoid now is to continue to concede goals, if they lose three times in a season against Liverpool, it is really unreasonable." ”

At the end of the first half, with Jiang Chenxi's goal and Firmino's penalty goal, Liverpool led Manchester City 2-0 at home.

Not only that, but City also had one player sent off and they are now forced to play with 10 men.

In addition, the team's head coach Manuel Pellegrini was also sent to the stands for being emotionally disrespectful to the referee during a protest.

The situation is clear now, as Zhang Lu said, no one will think that Manchester City have any hope of turning the tables in this situation, and it would be good if they could do it without conceding any more goals.

……

After the start of the second half, in less than ten minutes, Liverpool played another wave of attacking small high chao.

Milner and Alberto. Moreno scored in the 49th and 53rd minutes of the game to help Liverpool make the score 4-0, and it was Jiang Chenxi who provided the assist for both men.

"Four to zero! Liverpool have a big lead over Manchester City, and they sealed the game early! ”

"That's Jiang's strength, and he continues to show us his hot form." Lineker exclaimed, "One goal, two assists, Manchester City was almost destroyed by him alone!" ”

Then, after 66 minutes of the game, Klopp replaced Jiang Chenxi with Sturridge.

This is also the earliest time that Jiang Chenxi has been replaced since the start of this season.

"Jurgen Klopp has already withdrawn his troops." He Wei said, "Jiang Chenxi was replaced early, which is to give Jiang Chenxi more opportunities to rest, so that he can recharge his energy and prepare for the intensive schedule ahead." ”

"That's true, for Liverpool, Jiang Chenxi is too important, and Klopp is most worried about Jiang Chenxi's injury now." Zhang Lu said, "Especially in the next ten days, Liverpool will play three games, two of which are the highlight of the strong dialogue, Jiang Chenxi's state and physical condition are very important!" ”

……

'It's a devil's schedule for Liverpool and it's something they need to overcome.'

Yes, as the commentators have said, Liverpool are going to face a very dense devilish schedule.

Four days later, they will face Crystal Palace in the 29th round of the league.

Then, three days later, they will face the thirtieth round of the league in a clash of strong matches, with Liverpool hosting Chelsea.

Then, three days later, they will face up to the sixth round of the FA Cup at the weekend against their old rivals Manchester United, in another fierce battle.

Then, three days later, Liverpool will face the second leg of the Champions League semi-final with Juventus in midweek, and although a 3-2 victory at the Juventus Stadium in Turin gave Liverpool an early start in the two-legged knockout rounds, Liverpool cannot afford to take the second leg lightly against Juventus, who knocked Liverpool out of the Champions League last season.

That puts Liverpool on the verge of four games in two weeks' space and two consecutive weeks of double-game games.

In these four games, in addition to Crystal Palace, the opponents of the other three games are Chelsea, Manchester United and Juventus, and all of them are strong conversations!

In addition, Liverpool does not dare to say that it can ensure that it can easily win Crystal Palace, you must know that in the first leg of the league between the two sides, Liverpool was forced to draw 2-2 by Crystal Palace at Anfield Stadium, Crystal Palace has played the role of a hoe in the Premier League this season, they have beaten Chelsea 2-1 away, and have also drawn 0-0 at home Manchester United, and have also had a 5-1 victory over the 'underdog' Newcastle, of course, they have also lost 0-3 at home to Chelsea, and 4-0 away by Manchester City.

In short, this is a team that is difficult to entangle after playing well, and has collapsed and collapsed, such a nervous knife team is actually very painful.

……

Back to the game.

Jurgen Klopp replaced Jiang Chenxi, which to some extent also means that Liverpool has withdrawn in this game, and in fact, it is exactly that.

Liverpool did not score again for nearly half an hour remaining, and City's counter-attack was ineffective, and in the end, when referee Atkinson blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score was fixed at Liverpool's 4-0 win over Manchester City.

In another key game in this round, Leicester City was drawn 2-2 by West Bromwich Albion at the Home King Power Stadium, the most direct beneficiary of this game is Liverpool, now after 28 rounds of league games, Liverpool leads the standings with 59 points, and Leicester City is in second place with 55 points, four points behind Liverpool, in addition, you must know that Liverpool still has a round of games not to play.

For Manchester City, the third heavy defeat of the season at the feet of Liverpool was indeed very demoralizing.

However, for the Blue Moon, it is consoling that the top four opponents in front of them also lost this round:

Tottenham Hotspur lost 1-0 away to West Ham United.

It also gave Arsenal the chance to overtake Tottenham Hotspur, however, in the ensuing game, Arsenal were beaten 2-1 by Swansea after scoring first.

The post-game headline in The Times read: Habitual Collapse!

In this way, Liverpool lead the way with 59 points, Leicester City is second with 55 points, Tottenham Hotspur is third with 51 points, Arsenal occupy the old position with 49 points, Manchester City is fifth with 45 points, West Ham United is sixth with 44 points and Manchester United is seventh with 40 points.

Manchester City is four points behind fourth-place Arsenal and is under a lot of pressure to fight for the top four, but the Blue Moon, like Liverpool, have played one game less, so Manchester City's hopes of reaching the top four in the league are still not small.

PS: The typhoon has finally passed, and yesterday it was raining rainingly, the wind was strong, and the network was unstable, which was very scary.
