Liverpool are celebrating a big win over Manchester City.
Liverpool are eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table after a convincing victory over Manchester City.
The Reds raced into a 2-0 lead and went on to make it three before City scored a late consolation.
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher reacted on Twitter to the victory, expressing his happiness at the team’s big early lead.
Carragher praised trio Fabinho, Dejan Lovren and Virgil Van Dijk for their contribution towards the victory.
Fabinho scored Liverpool’s opening goal before strikes from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
Carragher referenced the nine point lead over Manchester City, although Leicester sit in second, a point ahead of Pep Guardiola’s side, as are Chelsea.
It is too early for Liverpool to get too carried away, but it’s hard not to at this early stage. City have little room for error, and defensive problems to solve.
