"City's seventh win in their last eight games in all competitions was a major blow to Liverpool's hopes of retaining the title. The troubled champions have lost seven of their last 10 matches in all competitions and trail Arsenal by eight points. They are marooned in eighth place after the momentum from successive wins over Aston Villa and Real Madrid dissipated into the rainy Manchester air."
"Haaland squandered a golden opportunity to put City ahead in the 12th minute when VAR ruled Doku was tripped by Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili just inside the penalty area. Mamardashvili made amends as he dived to his left to save Haaland's spot-kick. But Haaland was unfazed by his miss and the Norwegian put City in front in the 29th minute."
Manchester City beat Liverpool 3-0 at the Etihad, moving back into the Premier League title race and marking Pep Guardiola's 1,000th game as a manager. Erling Haaland missed an early penalty but recovered to score in the 29th minute after a flowing move. Nico Gonzalez extended the lead before half-time and Jeremy Doku finished the scoring in the second half, earning man of the match. The victory leaves City four points behind Arsenal. Liverpool have lost seven of their last ten matches and sit eighth, damaging their title defence hopes. Nottingham Forest beat Leeds 3-1 to bolster their survival bid. Guardiola's managerial career spans 17 years with 716 victories.
