Liverpool Extends Premier League Lead with Victory Over Newcastle
Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table with a 2-0 victory over Newcastle United at Anfield, further solidifying their position as title favorites. Goals from Liverpool’s midfield and a strong defensive performance ensured the Reds moved 13 points clear of second-placed Arsenal, who were held to a 0-0 draw by Nottingham Forest. Meanwhile, Manchester City kept pace with a narrow 1-0 win over Tottenham, courtesy of a first-half strike from Erling Haaland.
Liverpool’s dominance was evident as they controlled the game against Newcastle, with their midfield trio—aged 22, 24, and 26—earning praise for their composure and efficiency. Manager Arne Slot highlighted the team’s resilience, especially after recent challenges, and emphasized the importance of maintaining focus ahead of upcoming Champions League fixtures. Newcastle, despite a decent performance, failed to register a shot on target and were left ruing defensive lapses that led to Liverpool’s goals.
In London, Manchester City edged past Tottenham in a tightly contested match. Haaland, returning from a knee injury, scored the decisive goal in the 12th minute, capitalizing on a cross from Jeremy Doku. City’s defense, led by January signing Abdukodir Khusanov, held firm against a spirited Spurs side, who came close to equalizing late in the game. The win lifted City to fourth in the table, while Tottenham remained in 13th after their 14th league defeat of the season.
Elsewhere, Arsenal’s title hopes took a hit as they were held to a goalless draw by Nottingham Forest. The Gunners struggled to break down a resilient Forest defense, leaving them further adrift of Liverpool in the race for the title. With the gap at the top now 13 points, Liverpool appear to be in cruise control as they aim to secure their first Premier League title since 2020.
