Liverpool locked horns with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a good result on their travels in the Premier League. The Reds made a slow start to the contest and conceded the opening goal in the 29th minute when Erling Haaland found the back of the net. Nico Gonzalez put Man City 2-0 ahead in the first half injury-time as Arne Slot’s men went into the break 2-0 down on the scoreline.
Jeremy Doku added another goal for Man City in the 63rd minute as Liverpool crashed to a poor 3-0 loss away from home.
