"Manchester City were back to their sparkling best as they swept aside a disappointing Liverpool in rainy Manchester. Erling Haaland saw an early penalty saved but it mattered little as City were sharper and slicker all over the field than the Premier League champions. Haaland sailed in a header to open the scoring and Virgil van Dijk then had a leveller ruled out for offside."
"There was a touch of fortune about City's second as Nico Gonzalez's long-range strike deflected in off Van Dijk. But there was nothing lucky about Jeremy Doku's brilliant thrid, the Belgian whipping a beauty into the top corner from 25 yards. Liverpool are the first reigning Premier League champions to concede as many as 17 goals in their first 11 games since Liverpool in 2020-21 (17)."
