"MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester City laid down a marker in the Premier League title race with an impressive 3-0 win over reigning champions Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. Erling Haaland saw an early penalty saved before giving City a deserved lead midway through the first half with a well-taken header. Virgil van Dijk thought he'd equalized only for his header to be ruled out because Andrew Robertson was deemed to be in an offside position in front of Gianluigi Donnarumma."
"It's been hard to tell where City are at after a mixed start to the season, but this week has revealed that they're actually pretty good. Pep Guardiola's team have seen off AFC Bournemouth, Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool in the space of seven days. More than that, all three performances were relatively convincing. The first half against Liverpool was maybe their best 45 minutes of the season. It might be their best 45 minutes since the 2023-24 season."
Manchester City defeated Liverpool 3-0 at the Etihad, with Erling Haaland converting a header after an earlier penalty was saved. Virgil van Dijk had a headed effort ruled out for offside involving Andrew Robertson in front of Gianluigi Donnarumma. Nico González doubled City’s lead with an outside-the-area shot that deflected off Van Dijk before halftime, and Jérémy Doku sealed the victory with a spectacular second-half goal. The win moved City to second in the Premier League, four points behind Arsenal, after recent victories over Bournemouth and Borussia Dortmund and ahead of an EFL Cup quarterfinal against Brentford.
