Reds cruise to victory in Manchester

But what was to be the complete opposite set of results to what some people may have imagined, the Gunners surprisingly lost 1-0 at home to the Hammers while Liverpool put in a brilliant performance away to City in a 2-0 victory.

Mo Salah was once again the star of the show for Arne Slot's men, scoring the first goal before assisting the second for Dominik Szoboszlai. who also assisted Salah's goal.

On the Betfair Sportsbook, five punters backed the Salah and Szoboszlai goal/assist double at a whopping 175/1176.00!
