Liverpool legend rubbishes claims the title race is back on after Man City slip-up
26.01.2022 - 00:11 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson has dismissed claims the title race is 'back on' following Manchester City's draw with Southampton on Saturday.
The Blues were lacklustre in the 1-1 stalemate with the Saints and had fallen a goal behind with Kyle Walker-Peters opening the scoring after just seven minutes.
Aymeric Laporte's header levelled things with 25 minutes to play but City couldn't find a winner late on at St. Marys.
With Liverpool closing the gap to nine points and having the luxury of a game in hand over the league leaders, Lawrenson believes that in itself isn't enough to deny City a second successive Premier League title.
''No'', the 64-year-old told Off the Ball when asked whether the title race is back on.
''I really think City are gone now. I think you've almost got to forget about them and Jurgen Klopp is probably of the same opinion.
''Liverpool should carry on and try to keep churning out results but I think City are just above everybody, both figuratively and literally. They are just an outstanding team.
''I know they had that hiccup at Southampton but I just feel as if they are in a different league at the moment, I think everybody can see that.''
City do still have Liverpool to face before the end of the season, in what could prove to be Pep Guardiola's last big test on the way to what looks to be yet another Premier League success this season.
