Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has claimed that Liverpool are no longer contenders in the Premier League title race following their 3-0 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
Speaking on during an interview after the match, Keane highlighted the performance of City’s attackers, with Erling Haaland, Nico Gonzalez, and Jeremy Doku all finding the net to close the gap to league leaders Arsenal to four points.
The result came after Arsenal drew 2-2 with Sunderland on Saturday, maintaining their lead at the top of the table.
“You can’t be considering Liverpool for the title. That was a sore defeat. But this reminded me of City of old. They were outstanding. They are back in the mix,” Keane said.
According to the former midfield enforcer, the Premier League crown this season will be contested between Arsenal and Manchester City, with Liverpool now effectively out of the title picture.
