In this episode of The Cooligans, Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros analyze Manchester City's loss to Liverpool, Christian Pulisic's hot streak, and the MLS conference finals. They also look ahead to the MLS Cup Final between the New York Red Bulls and the Los Angeles Galaxy and run through another edition of Rapid Reactions.

Liverpool Downs Manchester City

Liverpool got the better of Manchester City in a thrilling Premier League encounter. The Reds took the lead through a Mohamed Salah penalty and never looked back, with Sadio Mané and Darwin Nüñez also getting on the scoresheet. Manchester City had their chances, but couldn't find the back of the net. It was a disappointing result for Pep Guardiola's side, who have now lost two of their last three games.

Christian Pulisic Shines

Christian Pulisic continued his excellent form for Chelsea, scoring a brace in their win over Aston Villa. The American midfielder has been in great goalscoring form of late, and his performances have earned him a call-up to the US national team. Pulisic will be hoping to continue his good run of form as Chelsea look to challenge for the Premier League title.

MLS Cup Final Set

The MLS conference finals took place over the weekend, with the New York Red Bulls and the Los Angeles Galaxy booking their places in the MLS Cup Final. The Red Bulls got the better of Orlando City, while the Galaxy overcame the Seattle Sounders. It promises to be an exciting final, with both teams hungry for victory.

Rapid Reactions

In the final segment of the show, Christian and Alexis run through Rapid Reactions, discussing the USWNT's draw with England, John Herdman's departure from Toronto FC, Malik Tillman and Ricardo Pepi's Champions League comebacks, the Premier League's plans to produce their own broadcasts, and the field for the Club World Cup being set at 32 teams.
