Manchester City made a powerful Premier League title statement with a 3-0 win over Liverpool, cutting Arsenal’s lead to four points.
Despite Erling Haaland missing a controversial early penalty, he opened the scoring soon after with his 19th goal of the season. A deflected Nico González strike made it 2-0 before halftime, and Jérémy Doku sealed the win with a brilliant curling effort in the second half after tormenting Liverpool’s defence throughout.
Liverpool had a Virgil van Dijk header ruled out by VAR for offside, but City dominated with superior pace and precision. The result handed Pep Guardiola a fitting celebration in his 1,000th match as a manager, while Liverpool slumped to a fourth straight away league defeat, their title hopes fading fast.
