City silenced Anfield with a convincing 3-0 victory over Liverpool

Manchester City silenced Anfield with a convincing 3-0 victory over Liverpool, extending their winning streak to six matches. Yet the result came amid growing uncertainty following an independent commission’s verdict finding the club guilty of more than 100 Premier League charges.
With potential sanctions still undecided, City face the prospect of a significant points deduction, relegation or even expulsion if their appeal fails. Previous league titles could also be at risk. The unresolved case has sparked concern across English football. Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville described the situation as damaging for the league, while Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola stressed that uncertainty benefits nobody.
On the pitch, Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki scored, while Jeremy Doku delivered a decisive performance, scoring and helping create two goals.
Liverpool, struggling with injuries, now trail City by nine points. However, the wider battle for European qualification remains overshadowed by a legal dispute that could reshape the standings.
