Anfield Defeat

Manchester City silenced Anfield with a dominant 3-0 victory over Liverpool FC. Entering the fixture under intense scrutiny following a guilty verdict for over 100 financial rule breaches, City responded with defiance on the pitch. A high-tension first half remained deadlocked, but the game shifted dramatically when Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch was sent off for a second yellow card. City capitalised immediately, scoring three goals in a twelve-minute blitz through Erling Haaland, Jérémy Doku, and Rayan Cherki. The win preserves City's perfect league start, while handing Andoni Iraola his first loss as Liverpool manager.
