The game began at a high tempo, with City immediately putting Liverpool under pressure. The hosts were awarded a penalty in the 13th minute after Jérémy Doku was brought down by Donnarumma, but Erling Haaland failed to convert from the spot.
Haaland redeemed himself in the 29th minute, slotting home from Matheus Nunes’ cross to give Manchester City a deserved 1–0 lead. Liverpool thought they had equalized when Virgil van Dijk powered in a header, but the goal was controversially ruled out in the 38th minute.
Just before halftime, City doubled their advantage as Nico González found the net following a clever assist from Bernardo Silva.
Liverpool’s hopes of a comeback were crushed in the 63rd minute when Jérémy Doku added a third goal, finishing off a precise pass from youngster Nico O’Reilly.
The emphatic win sees Manchester City climb to second place in the Premier League table, while Liverpool drop to eighth.
The occasion was even more special for Pep Guardiola, who celebrated his 1,000th game as a manager in fitting fashion—with a dominant performance and a clean sheet.
