#1 The heart of Liverpool and the touch of a pharaoh
Over to you, Liverpool. Manchester City have already put Crystal Palace out of their misery before proceedings began at the Anfield. Liverpool had the added pressure but they were not even remotely close to nervous. The Reds were in complete control of the game barring the immediate barrage from Eden Hazard after they went two goals ahead.
The Kop kept their team in it for the entirety of the game, be it when Chelsea counter-attacked, when their captain strode forward, or when their forwards came close. The 12th man was well and truly into the game and the heart of the players cannot be questioned. They still have the hunger and drive to win the Premier League with only four games remaining. If you still have questions about their passion, just look at Henderson, look at Fabinho sliding down to prevent Hazard, look at Alisson's reflexes to deny the Belgian. The commitment from the midfield, the support from the defense, the will of the forwards, everything points towards a team possessed to win the title.
Sadio Mane's header gave the Reds a lead in the 51st minute. Two minutes later, a moment of sheer brilliance, a touch of the Pharaoh as the Egyptian King struck. From outside the box, a left-footed curler flew past the reach of the outstretched Kepa Arrizabalaga. Mo Salah had done it again. The Kop burst into celebrations as the ball hit the net. The title race is still well and truly on. Now we will say the same thing that they told us yesterday. Over to you, Manchester City.
