How Manchester City thrashed Liverpool in Pep Guardiola's 1,000th game in charge

Manchester City secured a decisive 3-0 victory over Liverpool in the Premier League, marking a significant milestone as it was Pep Guardiola's 1,000th match as a manager. The match, held at the Etihad Stadium, saw City dominate their title rivals in a performance that included key moments and controversial decisions.

In the game, Erling Haaland initially had a penalty saved but later redeemed himself by heading in a cross from Matheus Nunes to open the scoring. A header from Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk was controversially disallowed, adding to the drama, before City extended their lead with goals from Nico and a stunning curled effort from Jeremy Doku, highlighting their offensive prowess.

As a result of this win, Manchester City moved up to second place in the Premier League standings, now trailing league leaders Arsenal by four points, while Liverpool dropped to eighth position. Looking ahead, City are scheduled to face Newcastle away on Saturday, November 22, following the international break, and will then host Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League just three days later, as they continue their busy fixture schedule.
