Manchester City made a major Premier League title statement with a dominant 3-0 win over Liverpool, cutting Arsenal’s lead to four points.
Despite Erling Haaland missing an early penalty, he opened the scoring with his 19th goal of the season before Nico González’s deflected strike doubled City’s lead in first-half stoppage time. Jérémy Doku then sealed the victory with a stunning curler after tormenting Liverpool’s defence all evening.
Liverpool saw a potential equaliser from Virgil van Dijk ruled out for offside and struggled to cope with City’s pace and precision. The defeat — their fourth straight away loss — leaves their title defence hanging by a thread.
City, celebrating Pep Guardiola’s 1,000th game as a manager, delivered a commanding performance that showed they remain firmly in the title race.
