Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 08:24 · Archive

Manchester City defeated Liverpool 3-0 in their first match since being found guilty of over 100 Premier League financial rule breaches.

Manchester City won 3-0 at Anfield on Sunday, their first match since being found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules over a nine-season period. The club is appealing the verdicts; no punishment has yet been announced.

Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki scored City's goals after Liverpool's Ryan Gravenberch was sent off for two bookings in the 62nd minute. The win maintained City's unbeaten start to the season with six wins from six Premier League matches.

Liverpool fans protested at the guilty verdicts with chants of 'cheats' and banners including one reading 'A Generation Of Supporters Cheated'. Gary Neville, commentating for Sky Sports, said the chant was 'brutal' and predicted it 'could catch on across the grounds and across the country until the punishment does come in'. He added that a 'huge cloud' will hang over the Premier League for months until the appeal is heard, and said the situation meant City's win could not be celebrated without reservation.
