Erling Haaland scored his 99th Premier League PL goal as Manchester City produced a commanding performance to defeat Liverpool 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium, extending the Reds' miserable away form to four straight PL defeats,their worst such run since 2012, Softfootball reports.
City came into this clash on the back of an emphatic 4-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League last week, and they carried that momentum straight into the domestic contest. Pep Guardiola's men started like a team full of belief, winning nine of their last ten home league games before this encounter.
Liverpool, who were brimming with confidence after their own impressive Champions League win over Real Madrid , looked eager early on but were quickly forced on the back foot. City's relentless pressing paid off when Giorgi Mamardashvili brought down Jeremy Doku in the box after the winger stole possession from Ibrahima Konate. The Georgian keeper, however, redeemed himself by saving Haaland's spot-kick to keep Liverpool level.
