Man City snarl defiance in wake of cheating scandal, thrash depleted Liverpool

Manchester City secured a 3-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield in their first match since being found guilty of breaking over 100 Premier League financial rules. Second-half goals from Erling Haaland, Jérémy Doku, and Rayan Cherki sealed the win after Liverpool's Ryan Gravenberch was sent off, with the home side already hampered by injuries to Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo, and Dominik Szoboszlai. The result moved City back to the top of the Premier League table and extended their 100 percent winning record to start the season, while the club continues to appeal the 114 charges against them.
