Erling Haaland continued his incredible Premier League goalscoring form as Manchester City defeated Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield on Sunday, October 11, 2026. The Norwegian striker opened the scoring in the second half before Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki completed a commanding victory for Enzo Maresca's side.
Liverpool's task became significantly harder after Ryan Gravenberch was sent off in the 62nd minute. Haaland capitalised three minutes later, helping City maintain their perfect start to the Premier League season with six wins from six matches. The victory also saw the Manchester City superstar reach two significant milestones against the Premier League's traditional Big Six clubs.
