English Premier League leaders, Manchester City, defeated 10-man Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield on Sunday, recording their first victory since being found guilty of breaching the league’s financial rules.
City secured the emphatic win through second-half goals from Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki, extending their perfect start to the league campaign.
Liverpool’s hopes of mounting a comeback suffered a major setback when Ryan Gravenberch was sent off shortly before Haaland opened the scoring.
The Norwegian striker broke the deadlock before Doku and Cherki added two more goals to seal a convincing victory for Pep Guardiola’s side.
The result means City have won all six of their league matches this season, strengthening their position at the top of the Premier League table.
The victory came amid controversy surrounding the club’s recent guilty verdict for financial rule breaches.
City are appealing against the decision.
The outcome of the appeal remains pending, while the club continue their campaign with an unblemished league record.
