Man City silence hostile Anfield with 3-0 win over Liverpool
Man City midfielder Elliot Anderson said City's unity had stood out.
Manchester City put an end to a boisterous Anfield atmosphere with a convincing 3-0 victory over 10-man Liverpool on Sunday, extending their undefeated start to the Premier League season. Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku, and Rayan Cherki all found the back of the net for City. The match took place just days after an independent commission found City guilty of 114 breaches of the league's financial rules, and the visiting side faced a hostile crowd at Anfield who greeted them with boos and angry chants.
City's defense stood firm against Liverpool's early pressure despite the challenging environment. Haaland scored twice, capitalizing on a set-piece and a long-range shot, while Doku added a third goal in the 68th minute. The win extended City's winning streak to six matches, giving them a three-point lead over Arsenal in the Premier League table.
