Liverpool Stops Man City's Premiership Winning Streak
A side that runs the table in any league is deserving of legendary status.
Only two have done it in England's top level since 1888:
- Preston North End in that first season, actually winning the FA Cup, as well, and
- Arsenal in 2003-2004.
In so doing, they've earned the title of Invincibles.
Manchester City hasn't, and it'll be at least another year before they're even considered.
Liverpool saw to it that with a wild 4-3 triumph at Anfield.
The Reds served notice in the ninth minute, when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain found net. Leroy Sané may have pulled City even before the half, but save for yielding possession in mostley harmless Sky Blue forays, the 'Pool had already served sufficient notice that this would be their day.
Dudes proved it in the final 45:
City dodged a bullet back on New Year's Eve when Ederson saved a late penalty to not only salvage a point against mid-table Crystal Palace, but save the streak at Selhurst Park by keeping the match scoreless.
They seemed to shift back into top gear afterward, bopping Watford in Leage and Burnley in the FA Cup before having a 2-1 run in the League Cup against Bristol City.
One match is a small sample size, but Jürgen Klopp's crew looked just as dangerous without Philippe Coutinho as they have with him.
It's noting new for Klopp, who'd seen a number of key players move on from Dortmund during his days there, only to see Der BVB maintain their form.
These three points will do nicely as they continue their quest for a place in Europe:
