Man City beat Liverpool 3-0 despite financial breach controversy

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 11 Oct, 19:54 · Archive

Manchester City won 3-0 at Liverpool in their first match since being found guilty of financial breaches.

Manchester City defeated Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield in their first Premier League match since an independent panel found the club guilty of financial breaches. Second-half goals from Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki sealed the win, with Liverpool reduced to ten men after Ryan Gravenberch received a red card around the hour mark.

City was jeered by Liverpool fans during the match, with chants of 'cheat, cheat' and taunts of 'going down' directed at the visiting team. The club has been accused of providing misleading information about their finances over a nine-year period from 2009-18, during which they won three league titles and signed players including Yaya Toure, Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne. City have appealed the verdict.

Potential sanctions could include a substantial fine, points deductions or expulsion from England's top flight. The outcome is not yet determined. City sit top of the Premier League standings with a 100 per cent winning record. Many Liverpool supporters left the stadium before the end of the match.
