At Anfield, the Premier League Trophy is still showcased at Liverpool's football club museum. The roads of its return to the previous possessor have been desolated by the glorious victory Manchester City bagged with a 4-1 final score on this Sunday. This victory has formally finished the dream of former champions to label the trophy by their name. 

This win positively indicates that the shift in the guard is responsible for somewhat over-playing things.  It also encompasses that the team, coached by Pep Guardiola, has been seizing triumphs over consequent matches, even before the first victory of Liverpool after thirty years last season.

Manchester City is rejoiced by their victory as they last won at Anfield in 2003. However, this 20201 triumph over Liverpool means a lot more than the previous one as subconsciously, every other team participating in EPL has been informed about City's supremacy.

In Guardiola's words, coming here and securing the triumph was important. Nobody can presume to which team the championship title would go. However, he can predict how the work structure of the team would be. He also stated that the level of contentment the team has now can't be denied as they have done brilliantly in the match.

Guardiola has uttered these words in a very pragmatic way. However, the way his team has secured a mammoth victory by slashing Liverpool apart shouldn't be underestimated.

Some other football aficionados are also rejoicing along with Manchester City fans because of their Sunday's victory. They are the sports bettors, wagered money on the winning side. Experienced bettors are now choosing to opt for the most renowned UKGC approved online betting sites since only the best online sportsbooks supporting players from the United Kingdom has the most potential of proffering elevated amounts on winning stakes.

However, City kept their domination all over the game. Their forward-line was successful in exposing the drawbacks of Liverpool's full-backs Trent Alexander and Andy Robertson while humiliating the goalkeeper Alisson Becker by perishing him twice for the mistakes he made in the second half.

On the other side, City's Phil Foden had made a superb knock by striking the second and third goals for the team, pointing out the reasons why the club's youth academy cherishes this 20 years old footballer as a jewel. Manchester City's midfield was also exquisitely controlled by Bernardo Silva, Raheem Sterling, and Ilkay Gundogan throughout 90 minutes.

 

However, online casino gambling through popular sites like NetBet casino comes to players as a source of wagering too. This statement becomes a reality every time renowned online platforms' minutely designed offerings become visible.

Liverpool has already lost their previous two matches with Brighton and Burnley. Hence, the team morale was quite deflated. However, in Sunday's game, the team has ended up with a loss and been portrayed as ordinary.

Liverpool is struggling behind Leaders City, having 10 points lesser than them though the team has played one more game than Guardiola's squad. Hence, the EPL title is now an elusive dream for Liverpool. The team is currently aimed for securing fourth place in the final league chart, keeping Everton, Chelsea, and West Ham at bay. However, the unit lacks ideas and energy as their favorite defender Virgil van Dijk will be unavailable until next season.

According to Klopp, the defeat by 4-1 is hard to explain. The game could go either way after Liverpool scored their fast. But, the mistakes of Alisson forced the team to receive two goals, and afterward, the problematic situation from Phil Foden arrived.

He also mentioned, "But we have to carry on, it's not the best moment of our lives, and we will try everything [for the top four]. There are enough games to secure that, but we have to win them."
