"Pep Guardiola celebrated his 1,000th game as a manager with a convincing win over an old rival as Manchester City overpowered Liverpool 3-0 on Sunday. Typically Erling Haaland was on the scoresheet, opening the scoring for a dominant City side at the Etihad Stadium with his 99th Premier League goal after missing an earlier penalty. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk had an equaliser controversially disallowed, but the champions were second best for much of a sodden afternoon."
"The outstanding Jeremy Doku, who tormented Liverpool right-back Conor Bradley, added a sublime third on his 100th appearance for the club. Erling Haaland scored his 99th Premier League goal in Manchester City's win on Sunday. Victory lifted City back up to second in the table and within four points of leaders Arsenal, and condemned Liverpool to yet more soul-searching. Arne Slot's side had emerged from a recent slump with impressive back-to-back wins over Aston Villa and Real Madrid."
"The Belgian winger was electric and almost slid Phil Foden in on goal early on. Doku was the main player in the game's major talking point after nine minutes when he burst past two defenders and went down following a challenge by Giorgi Mamardashvili. No penalty was given initially and replays suggested contact was minimal, but referee Chris Kavanagh reversed his decision after being summoned to the VAR screen."
