February 23rd – A Date Liverpool Fans Won’t Forget Anytime Soon

🔴 Liverpool all but secured the Premier League title on this unforgettable day, capitalizing on key results that widened their lead. Despite concerns over dropped points against Everton and Aston Villa, Arsenal’s injury crisis in North London shifted the momentum firmly in Liverpool’s favor.

Mikel Merino briefly reignited Arsenal’s title hopes, but a shocking 1-0 defeat to West Ham on Saturday may have sealed their fate. That set the stage for Sunday’s massive clash at the Etihad, where Liverpool comfortably dispatched Manchester City.

Liverpool’s Historic Win at the Etihad

🏆 Slot’s men stepped onto City’s turf, a ground they hadn’t conquered since Klopp’s debut visit in November 2015. Pep Guardiola’s dominance has made victories at the Etihad rare, but Liverpool proved why they are the favorites this season.

⭐ Mohamed Salah once again stole the show, opening the scoring with a brilliantly executed corner routine. Fellow Egyptian Omar Marmoush hoped to make an impact but was outshined by Liverpool’s talisman.

🇭🇺 Dominik Szoboszlai thrived in a false 9 role, stepping up in Cody Gakpo’s absence. He assisted Salah’s goal, found the net himself, and even had another assist ruled out due to offside in the build-up to Curtis Jones’ disallowed goal.

Alexander-Arnold’s Future in Doubt?

⚡ While Liverpool fans celebrated, one player’s performance raised concerns—Trent Alexander-Arnold. Once considered the face of the squad, his defensive struggles continue to be a recurring theme.

If Sunday’s showing was a one-off, it could be overlooked. However, with consistency an issue, Slot might now see him as expendable. If a new deal isn’t agreed upon, could it be time for a fresh start away from Anfield? 🤔💭

Manchester United Stages Comeback to Secure a Draw at Everton After a disappointing first half, Manchester United turned things around to salvage a 2-2 draw away at Everton. Back in 2019, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat at Goodison Park. At halftime of the 2025 fixture, it seemed like Ruben Amorim’s squad might suffer a similar fate. However, after a stern halftime talk, United responded, overturning a 2-0 deficit to earn a valuable point. A controversial late penalty decision ensured they avoided defeat. While several United players struggled, one standout performer was Manuel Ugarte. Fraizer Campbell Praises Manuel Ugarte Speaking to MUTV after the match, former United academy striker Fraizer Campbell applauded Ugarte’s display. The Uruguayan midfielder not only scored the equalizer—his first goal for the club—but also impressed with his overall play. He completed 91% of his passes, won two tackles, and dominated six duels. Campbell was particularly impressed by Ugarte’s versatility, stating: “I couldn’t tell what position he was playing today—he was everywhere! On the right, on the left, in the middle… then he popped up with a goal. He’s such an important player for us. His energy and movement across the pitch are crucial for the team.” Fellow pundit Wes Brown echoed this sentiment, highlighting Ugarte’s strong performances, especially in away fixtures at Liverpool and Arsenal. Chido Obi’s Impact Off the Bench Teenage forward Chido Obi was introduced in the 69th minute and played a role in United’s comeback. During his brief appearance, he had 10 touches—nearly as many as Rasmus Højlund, who was subbed off after managing only 12. Campbell believes the 17-year-old will benefit greatly from these opportunities, explaining: “This will be huge for him. Youth football is different—he’s a big, strong lad, but in the Premier League, he can’t rely solely on physicality. He’ll need to adapt his game and prove his potential.” Campbell emphasized that every minute on the pitch contributes to a player’s growth, adding: “It’s a steep learning curve, but that 20-minute cameo will help him. The more experience he gets, the better his chances of earning a regular spot in the starting lineup.”
