Doku delights as Man City cruise past 10‑man Liverpool

Manchester City returned to the Premier League with a 3-0 triumph over Liverpool at Anfield, their first outing after a guilty verdict for breaching financial rules. The win came on a day when City’s rivals were reduced to ten men, easing the pressure on the visitors.

The victory extended City’s perfect start to six matches, a record‑setting run that has seen them dominate the early stages of the season. Their clean sheet and comfortable margin underscored their continued dominance at the top of the table.

Doku’s performance was a highlight of the match, providing a bright spot for City’s fans and adding to the team’s attacking flair. His contribution helped seal the win and keep the scoreline clear.

With the result, City moved three points clear of Liverpool, widening the gap at the summit of the league. Liverpool’s loss means they must now catch up if they hope to stay in title contention.

Looking ahead, City will aim to maintain their momentum in the coming fixtures, while Liverpool will need to regroup quickly to avoid falling further behind in the race for the title.
