City 3-0 Liverpool: Haaland, Doku and Cherki punish 10-man Liverpool at Anfield
Gravenberch's second yellow turns Matchweek 6 before three second-half goals.
Why Sunday at Anfield still leads the table
Anfield stayed 0-0 for an hour on Sunday. Then Ryan Gravenberch was sent off for a second yellow, and Manchester City scored three times. Enzo Maresca’s side, back from the international break, won 3-0. Liverpool’s report called it the club’s first league defeat of 2026-27. Andoni Iraola picked the home team.
Erling Haaland scored in the 65th minute, a first-time finish from about 10 yards after Jeremy Doku’s shot was deflected into his path. Doku curled in the second in the 68th minute. Rayan Cherki added the third from close range in the 78th minute. City’s report lists those three times.
Where the table sits on Monday
City have 18 points from six wins, with 16 goals for and 5 against. Arsenal are second on 15. Brighton are third on 13. Liverpool are ninth on 9 points, with a goal difference of zero, level on points with Leeds and Hull. City’s next league assignment in Europe is a Champions League night against Paris Saint-Germain, as the club report notes. The league lead is three points, and it was earned after the red card, not before it.
