  "account": "Erling Haaland pledged that Manchester City would \"stick together\" following their 3-0 victory over 10-man Liverpool, despite the club being found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules. The Norwegian striker opened the scoring at Anfield, with Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki scoring the remaining goals, silencing the Liverpool fans who had previously taunted the club about the guilty verdict. City, who are currently appealing the decision, could face severe consequences including potential relegation or losing their titles. However, Haaland insisted that the team's defiant performance showed their commitment to the cause. The match, which saw Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch sent off, proved to be a mental challenge for the City players. Midfielder Elliot Anderson praised the team's unity and fight, acknowledging the difficult circumstances they faced at the hostile Anfield stadium.",
  "summary": "\"Every single person that is part of Man City, and every fan, this is a lovely moment that will stay with us for a long time,\" he said.",
