Manchester City were brilliant at Etihad Stadium and dismantled Liverpool 3–0 on the back of one of their best performances of the calendar year on Sunday afternoon.
Erling Haaland’s 99th career Premier League goal broke the deadlock in the first half, before Nico González doubled Man City’s advantage just before the break.
But the story of the game was Jérémy Doku. The Belgian put on an absolute show all game and tied the bow on his sensational performance with a breathtaking goal to give City a third.
Pep Guardiola’s side were vastly superior than the reigning champions on the occasion of his 1,000th managerial outing, sending an ominous warning that they’re bound to be contenders in this season’s title race.
The result sees City surge to second in the Premier League standings, heading into the international break just four points back of Arsenal atop the table.
