- Manchester City beat 10-man Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield, their first match since being found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules
- The victory extended Manchester City's perfect Premier League start to six matches
- City moved three points clear at the top of the Premier League table with the win
- Doku starred in the win, with the headline framing centred on his standout performance at Anfield
- Liverpool finished the match a man down, compounding a heavy home defeat that exposed their gap to the leaders
Why it matters: Manchester City reasserted their dominance over the reigning Premier League champions with the heaviest kind of statement win — on the road, at Anfield, and with a man advantage after Liverpool went down to 10. A three-point cushion atop a perfect six-match record is the sporting answer to the cloud of their financial rules verdict, while Liverpool's heavy home loss underlines how much ground they have lost to the team they dethroned.
