Manchester City beat 10-man Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield

Manchester City beat Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield on October 11, scoring three times after Ryan Gravenberch was sent off in the second half. Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki scored for City, which maintained its unbeaten start to the Premier League season. The match was goalless at halftime after a closely contested opening. Liverpool continued to threaten after the restart, but the balance shifted in the 62nd minute when Gravenberch received a second yellow card for a foul on Doku, leaving the hosts with 10 players. City took the lead three minutes later. Haaland finished a chance after Doku’s effort was deflected into his path. Doku then scored himself in the 68th minute, curling a shot into the far corner. Cherki completed the scoring in the 78th minute after combining with Josko Gvardiol and finishing past goalkeeper Alisson Becker. The victory came in City’s first match since an independent commission found the club guilty of Premier League financial-rule breaches.
