City dominant at Anfield as Haaland, Doku secure 3-0 win

Manchester City maintained their perfect start to the Premier League season with an emphatic away victory at Anfield, where they overcame a hostile atmosphere to secure a 3-0 win over 10-man Liverpool.

The visitors, already atop the league standings, delivered a composed performance against their traditional rivals, with the breakthrough coming after the interval. Erling Haaland opened the scoring before further goals from Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki sealed the comprehensive victory.

The absence of a Liverpool player for significant portions of the match proved pivotal, allowing City to control proceedings and frustrate the home supporters. The result underscores City's strong form this season and their ability to perform effectively in demanding circumstances.

The victory extends Manchester City's unbeaten record and reinforces their position as Premier League frontrunners heading into the next phase of the campaign.
