Manchester City triumphed over Liverpool with a 3-0 scoreline at Anfield, extending their 100% start to the Premier League season. The victory came amidst sustained taunts from Liverpool supporters, who referenced recent guilty verdicts against City for breaking Premier League financial rules.
The atmosphere at Anfield was charged, with Liverpool fans displaying banners and chanting about City's alleged financial transgressions. Despite the vocal opposition, City's players focused on the game, with the contest shifting significantly after Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch received a second yellow card in the 62nd minute.
Following Gravenberch's dismissal, City capitalised on their numerical advantage. Erling Haaland opened the scoring, followed by a goal from substitute Jérémy Doku. Ryan Cherki then sealed the win with a third goal, marking Liverpool's first defeat under manager Andoni Iraola.
