After steamrolling<\/a> through Huddersfield Town<\/a> on Friday night, Liverpool\u00a0<\/a>kept their title hopes alive. Jurgen Klopp’s men sit top of the table<\/a> with two games left to play. However, their counterparts Manchester City<\/a> are just two points behind with three games left in their season.<\/p>\n

The Race is Still On For Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool<\/h1>\n

A Crucial Big Win<\/h2>\n

Despite being 3-0 up at half-time, Klopp decided to keep his star wingers on the pitch for the entire match. Both Sadio Mane<\/a> and Mohamed Salah<\/a> scored first-half goals but the German manager still did not seem satisfied.<\/p>\n

With the Barcelona<\/a> matchup in the Champions League approaching<\/a>, many fans thought their star attackers would see some rest<\/a>. However, Klopp understands the importance of ensuring a win and gaining momentum, even if it risks his players’ fatigue or potential injuries. The gamble paid off as both Mane and Salah scored in the second half.<\/p>\n

The win was massive for the Red\u2019s as they reach the final stretch of the season. Manchester City were smashing Liverpool on goal difference, but the Reds boss seems to be trying to make sure he can compete with both points and goal difference. Now, Liverpool have a goal difference of +64, just below Manchester City\u2019s +67.<\/p>\n
