Manchester City made a major title statement with a dominant 3-0 win over Liverpool, cutting Arsenal’s Premier League lead to four points.
Despite Erling Haaland missing an early penalty, the Norwegian opened the scoring soon after, before a Nico González strike deflected in off Virgil van Dijk before halftime. Jérémy Doku, who tormented Liverpool’s defence all night, sealed the victory with a stunning curler in the second half.
Liverpool had a Van Dijk header ruled out by VAR for offside and struggled to match City’s intensity. The result marked their fourth straight away defeat, casting serious doubt on their title hopes.
For Pep Guardiola, managing his 1,000th game, it was a masterclass in control and creativity — with City showing they remain firmly in the hunt for the Premier League crown.
