Sixth win in a row: Liverpool FC is in high form. Jürgen Klopp’s team completed the half-dozen against Leeds and thus put Manchester City in the Premier League on the pelt.
Dhe FC Liverpool with coach Jürgen Klopp is again very close to leaders Manchester City in the English football championship. The “Reds” won their catch-up game of matchday 19 against Leeds United 6-0 (3-0) on Wednesday evening and reduced the gap to the Cityzens to three points – with a better goal difference (+50). At the beginning of April, both top teams meet in a direct duel. At the beginning of the year, Liverpool were eleven points behind Man City.
Star striker Mohamed Salah (15th minute) gave Liverpool an early lead with a converted hand penalty. Former Bundesliga professional Joel Matip increased (30th) before Salah (35th) – this time with a penalty – was successful again. In the second half, Africa Cup of Nations winner Sadio Mané (80’/90′) and Virgil van Dijk (90’+3′) scored the final score in Liverpool’s sixth league win in a row.
Four days after the last-minute win at ManCity (3-2), Tottenham Hotspur missed another important success in the fight for European Cup places. The Spurs lost 0-1 (0-0) at relegation candidate FC Burnley and are still three points behind West Ham United in fifth place with two games less.
