Manchester City defeated Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield on October 11, with Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki finding the net. City took advantage of Liverpool’s reduced numbers after Ryan Gravenberch was sent off, securing a convincing Premier League victory and ending Liverpool’s unbeaten start under manager Andoni Iraola, according to the supplied report.
Liverpool began the second half with greater attacking intent, but Gravenberch’s dismissal shifted the balance of the match. Haaland opened the scoring after a deflected cross from Doku, who then doubled City’s advantage with a curling finish. Cherki sealed the result in the 78th minute after a well-worked attacking move.
After the match, City manager Enzo Maresca said his team improved after making adjustments at half-time and stressed the need to handle hostile away atmospheres. He also dismissed concerns about matters outside football, including the controversy surrounding alleged breaches of Premier League financial regulations, saying his focus remained on training and match preparation.
