Enzo Maresca's Manchester City secured a perfect start to the Premier League season with a dominant 3-0 victory over Liverpool at the unforgiving Anfield stadium on Sunday. The English club, recently found guilty of breaching financial regulations, displayed their skill and control in the second half.
