The English Premier League football top-match tightened on Saturday as Manchester City, the leader of the game that ended the evening, lost 2-3 in a game full of soaring final drama at home to Tottenham.
Liverpool, which won 3-1 in Norwich earlier in the day, are now six points away from City, with less of a match.
Finnish national team striker Teemu Pukin Norwich put Liverpool on a surprisingly tight, but the take-home to the “Canaries” didn’t come off Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium. Norwich led the match for just over an hour until Liverpool hit with the power of their stars.
The opening half was played without goals, and one of the best places was the situation that ended with Pukki passing. In the early stages of the second half, Anfield was shocked when Norwich’s Kosovo striker Milot Rashican the shot bounced through the defense from Pool to the finish.
The home crowd was not pleased with that one Sadio Mane with a handsome acrobatic finish, and just three minutes later Norwich was already at a loss. Mohamed Salah spun and spun in the penalty area and scored a hit that was 150th for him in all of Liverpool’s career.
Liverpool’s win was then sealed by a recent acquisition Luis Diaz, at least as far as Manea and Salah are, for example. For Diaz, who came from Porto in January, the hit was his first in a Liverpool shirt.
Norwich fell to the last goal in the series when Burnley and Watford won their match. Burnley rose to a tie with Norwich and Watford are two points ahead.
In Liverpool, there was still enough joy in the evening. City rose twice against Tottenham, and Riyad Mahrezin the second 2 minutes into the game, the referee signaled for a 2-minute lead. Spurs star Harry Kane disagreed and brought Tottenham a handsome victory three minutes later with their second goal of the evening.
