That victory has once again lifted Liverpool above Pep Guardiola's, who - again - have a game in hand, against Burnley on Sunday afternoon.
What it has also done is lifted Liverpool to a points tally of 91. Yep, 91 points. A whopping 10 more than Leicester City had when they won the title in 2015/16, and with two games remaining.
It is also one more point than Arsenal's Invincibles side had after 38 games in their legendary 2003/04 campaign, which saw them win 26 and draw 12 in their unbeaten 38-game season.
On the latest episode of The Football Spin, Dion Fanning suggested that this title race was akin to the five-set masterpieces often served up by tennis titans Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal. Listen here:

What it does mean though is that this Liverpool side is one of the strongest the league has ever seen. To amass more than 90 points is incredibly rare in the Premier League, to do so without actually winning the title is unheard of. For one of Liverpool or Manchester City though, it will soon be a reality.
