Manchester City made a powerful title statement with a 3-0 win over Liverpool, cutting Arsenal’s lead to four points and extending their unbeaten run.
Despite Erling Haaland missing an early penalty, the Norwegian opened the scoring soon after, netting his 19th goal of the season. A deflected Nico González strike doubled City’s lead before Jérémy Doku sealed the result with a brilliant curling finish after a dazzling performance on the left.
Liverpool saw a potential equaliser from Virgil van Dijk ruled out by VAR for offside, but they were second-best throughout. City’s pressing, intensity, and midfield fluency overwhelmed the visitors, leaving Pep Guardiola celebrating his 1,000th game in charge with a dominant display.
Liverpool’s fourth straight away defeat leaves their title hopes fading, while City’s statement win firmly reasserts their championship ambitions.
