(Football results) - Man City showed dominant power by beating Liverpool 3-0 at Etihad, rising to the second spot in the Premier League and staying close behind Arsenal.
In the early hours of November 10 (Vietnam time), Manchester City hosted Liverpool at Etihad Stadium as part of the 11th round of the 2025/26 Premier League season. Under Pep Guardiola’s guidance, the home team displayed top-level attacking football and secured a convincing 3-0 victory.
From the opening minutes, Man City pushed forward aggressively, continuously pressuring Liverpool’s defense. After missing a penalty at the 13th minute, Erling Haaland quickly redeemed himself by heading in the opening goal at the 29th minute following a cross from Matheus Nunes. The visitors seemed to equalize at the 39th minute when Virgil Van Dijk headed the ball into Donnarumma’s net, but the goal was disallowed by VAR due to offside.

At 45+3 minutes, Nico Gonzalez extended the lead to 2-0 with a shot that deflected off a defender, leaving goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili helpless.
In the second half, Liverpool tried to fight back but were nearly powerless against the home side’s perfect control and pressing. At the 63rd minute, Jeremy Doku capped off an outstanding performance with a precise curling shot from the edge of the box, sealing a 3-0 win for Man City. Pep Guardiola’s squad has now risen to second place on the league table with 22 points, just 4 points behind Arsenal.

Liverpool’s efforts in the remainder of the match were limited to inaccurate long-range shots from Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai. The forwards’ inefficiency combined with a fragile defense caused The Kop to suffer their sixth defeat of the season, dropping to 8th place.
This victory allows Manchester City to regain form after a series of inconsistent matches and sends a strong message to the rest of the league: the champions are still here, ready to return to the Premier League summit.
