Manchester City vs Liverpool Match Report (3-0)

Manchester City claimed a 3-0 victory over Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium in an English Premier League clash on Sunday. Erling Haaland opened the scoring in the 29th minute, notching his 99th Premier League goal after missing an earlier penalty. Shortly before halftime, Nico González doubled the lead with a deflected strike off Virgil van-dyk at 45+3 minutes. Manchester City truly were dominant in this display and although Liverpool had attacking options on the field, they really struggled against the high intensity by City.

Liverpool had a potential equaliser from Virgil van Dijk ruled out controversially. In the second half, Jérémy Doku added a third goal in the 63rd minute on his 100th appearance for Manchester City, causing problems for Liverpool’s defence throughout. A VAR review awarded City a penalty early on after no initial call, but Liverpool’s goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili saved Haaland’s spot kick.

Manager Pep Guardiola marked his 1,000th game with a commanding performance as City dominated a tired-looking Liverpool on a wet Manchester afternoon. Manchester City were in control for much of the match and secured a comfortable win to strengthen their Premier League campaign, only -4 points behind leaders Arsenal.
