Liverpool Climbs to Top, City's Streak Snapped

Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League table with a thrilling 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday. Mohamed Salah scored the winning goal in the 85th minute, after Harry Kane had earlier cancelled out Cody Gakpo's opener.

The win saw Liverpool leapfrog Manchester City into first place, but City's incredible winning streak was snapped on Saturday in a surprising 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest.

A Stunning Comeback at Anfield

Liverpool dominated possession early on, with Gakpo putting them ahead after a clever pass from Trent Alexander-Arnold. However, Tottenham fought back and equalised through a well-taken penalty from Kane.

The second half was a tight affair, with both teams creating chances. Salah ultimately proved to be the match-winner, slotting home a deflected shot after a brilliant run from Darwin Nunez.

City's Dominance Ends

City had been on a remarkable run, winning their previous 11 Premier League matches. However, they were held to a draw by Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

Chris Wood, a former Burnley striker, put Forest ahead with a powerful header in the first half. Erling Haaland equalised for City in the second half, but despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances, they couldn't find a winner.

What's Next?

Liverpool will now look to extend their lead at the top of the table with a tricky trip to Chelsea next weekend. City will also be aiming to bounce back when they host Aston Villa.

The Premier League title race remains wide open, with both Liverpool and City in excellent form. This weekend's results have thrown the title race wide open, and fans can expect an exciting and unpredictable run-in to the season.
