Shocking. After so long time the Premier League fans waiting this moment. Exactly last night, Manchester City finally suffered his first defeat in The Barclays Premier League. Was Liverpool, a team capabled of reaching out the achievement. After being named 'The Shark Team' for being able to devour all the facing teams, Manchester City had to kneeing in front of Liverpool supporters at Anfield Stadium.
Mengejutkan. Setelah sekian lamanya fans liga Inggris menunggu-nunggu saat ini. Tepat semalam, akhirnya Manchester City mengalami kekalahan perdananya di Barclays Premier League. Adalah Liverpool, tim yang mampu mengukir pencapaian tersebut. Setelah dianggap sebagai Tim Hiu karena mampu melahap semua tim yang menghadapinya, Manchester City harus bertekuk lutut di hadapan para pendukung Liverpool di Stadion Anfield.
After early left-behind 1-0 in the first half through Chamberlain goal, City had equalized the score to 1-1 at the end of the first half through goals Leroy Sane. But, after entering the second half, disaster for the City occurred. Three consecutive goals from the 'trident' Firmino, Mane, and Salah make Liverpool a 4-1 lead. It's not called City if just give up so easily. Do not want his record tarnished, despite the defeat was so near, Manchester City still followed by two goals at the end of the second half. But not enough to stop Liverpool's victory. Manchester City collapsed for the first time at Anfield Stadium.
Setelah sempat tertinggal 1-0 di awal babak pertama melalui gol Chamberlain, City sempat menyamakan skor menjadi 1-1 di penghujung babak pertama melalui gol Leroy Sane. Namun setelah memasuki babak kedua, bencana bagi City terjadi. Tiga gol beruntun dari 'trisula' Firmino, Mane, dan Salah menjadikan Liverpool unggul 4-1. Bukan City namanya kalau langsung menyerah begitu saja. Tak ingin rekornya ternodai, walau sudah diujung kekalahan, Manchester City masih menyusul dengan dua gol di penghujung babak kedua. Namun tak juga cukup untuk menghentikan kemenangan Liverpool. Manchester City tumbang untuk pertama kalinya di Stadion Anfield.
This happiness is not only belong by Liverpool fans, but all the Premier League club fans, except City of course. Moreover, Arsenal fans and live legends 2003-2004 generation. Imagine, with this defeat, Manchester City failed to equal Arsenal's record in the 2003-2004 season, which was unbeaten throughout the 2003-2004 season as well as Premier League champions in the same season. The record 'The Invicible' still only belongs to Arsenal, at least until the end of this season.
Kebahagiaan ini tak hanya dialami fans Liverpool, tetapi semua fans klub Liga Inggris, kecuali City tentunya. Terlebih adalah fans dan legenda hidup Arsenal angkatan 2003-2004. Betapa tidak, dengan kekalahan ini Manchester City gagal menyamai rekor Arsenal pada musim 2003-2004, yaitu tak pernah terkalahkan sepanjang musim 2003-2004 sekaligus sebagai jawara Premier League di musim yang sama. Rekor 'The Invicible' masih hanya milik Arsenal, setidaknya sampai musim ini.
Arsenal's fans, there are always a things that can make them happy. Although the day before, their beloved team just get lost at Bournemouth's home. Yes, at least, only one Arsenal record that stolen by City this time. After the winning streak of 14 matches had to be defeated by a record 18-games winning streak of City. Congratulations to The Gunners fans, at least this can still be a matter of your pride.
Namanya juga fans Arsenal, ada saja hal yang bisa membuat mereka bahagia. Padahal sehari sebelumnya tim kesayangan mereka baru meneguk kekalahan di kandang Bournemouth. Ya setidaknya cukup satu saja rekor Arsenal yang direbut City kali ini. Setelah kemenangan beruntun 14 laga mereka harus dikalahkan oleh rekor kemenangan beruntun 18 laga City. Selamat untuk fans The Gunners, setidaknya ini masih bisa menjadi bahan kesombongan kalian.
Not saying thanks to Liverpool seems also unethical. Thank you for beating Manchester City. At least, it's already cure the curiosity about "When City will lose?". Although in the end, Manchester City still remains the team will become Barclays Premier League Champion this season.
Tak mengucapkan terima kasih ke Liverpool sepertinya juga tak etis. Terima kasih telah mengalahkan Manchester City. Setidaknya sudah mengobati rasa penasaran akan "Kapan City akan kalah?". Walaupun ujungnya tetap Manchester City juga yang akan menjadi Juara Barclays Premier League musim ini.
Once again, Congrats Liverpool. "You Never Win Again".
Sekali lagi, Congrats Liverpool. "You
NeverWin Again".
