Man City dominate Liverpool after Gravenberch red card

Manchester City strengthened their position at the top of the table with a 3-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki scored in the second half as City took advantage of Liverpool’s numerical disadvantage to secure an emphatic win.

Liverpool had competed well before Ryan Gravenberch was sent off in the 62nd minute for a second yellow card following a foul on Doku.

City broke the deadlock shortly afterwards, with Haaland scoring in the 65th minute. Doku doubled the lead three minutes later before Cherki completed the victory in the 78th minute.

The result was particularly significant because it was City’s first match since an independent commission found the club guilty of charges relating to serious breaches of Premier League financial rules. City have appealed the verdict and continue to deny wrongdoing.

The visitors faced a hostile reception at Anfield but responded with a strong second-half performance.

The victory kept City top of the table with 18 points from six matches, three ahead of Arsenal.

Chelsea hit Bournemouth for five

Chelsea produced one of their most impressive attacking displays of the season, beating Bournemouth 5-1 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
