Manchester City reignited their Premier League title chase with a dominant 3-0 win over Liverpool, cutting Arsenal’s lead to four points.
Despite Erling Haaland missing a controversial early penalty, the Norwegian opened the scoring soon after with his 19th goal of the season. Nico González doubled the lead before half-time via a deflection off Virgil van Dijk, and Jérémy Doku sealed the result with a stunning curling strike in the second half after a dazzling display on the wing.
Liverpool had a goal disallowed when Van Dijk’s header was ruled offside due to Andy Robertson’s positioning, but City’s superiority was clear. Pep Guardiola’s side dominated midfield and outworked their rivals, celebrating his 1,000th game as a manager in style.
For Arne Slot’s Liverpool, it marked a fourth straight away defeat and a major blow to their title defence hopes.
