"In the 9th minute, Doku jogged past Bradley and Konate and attempted to hit a shot off but was brought down by the foot of goalkeeper Mamardashavili. After initially being waived by referee Chris Kavanagh, he was called over for a review and after watching the incident back, awarded a penalty to City. Haaland stepped up but his penalty was saved and City were still level."
"The penalty miss was not to burden Haaland for long though and got his moment 20 minutes later. Nunes played an excellent cross in from the right and the ball deflected off Konate on to the head of Haaland and the ball went sailing into the net to give the Blues a deserved lead to show for their dominance. Controversy followed shortly after the goal."
Manchester City defeated Liverpool 3-0, moving to second in the Premier League and four points behind Arsenal. Donnarumma started in goal with Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol and O'Reilly in defence. Gonzalez, Foden and Bernardo Silva operated in midfield while Doku, Cherki and Haaland led the attack. Jeremy Doku caused persistent problems for Liverpool and won a penalty after being brought down, which Haaland initially missed. Twenty minutes later Haaland scored from a Konate deflection. Liverpool had a Van Dijk header disallowed for Robertson impeding Donnarumma in an offside position after VAR review. Nico Gonzalez added a late goal.
