Like a wounded animal surrounded by vultures. Like a boxing veteran on the ropes. Like a sentenced convict with his back against the wall…That was Manchester City Football Club coming to Anfield this Sunday night – but, somehow, they miraculously made it! Enzo Maresca's men not only kept their boat afloat in an unprecedented storm, but sailed to an impressive 3-0 away win against a ten-man Reds side to keep their perfect Premier League record in the 2026/27 season.What a win! 💪🩵 🔴 0-3 🩵 @okx https://t.co/NtvkZSDU6y— Manchester City (@ManCity) October 11, 2026 Rather than sinking beneath a relentless tide of accusations in recent weeks, intensified by the charged atmosphere at Anfield and punctuated by fierce, familiar chants and banners, the Cityzens stood their ground.After a first half that dragged on with neither side able to seize control, the match exploded into life after the break, serving up pure football champagne. #Fútbol2Day – 🏴 Los carteles de la hinchada del Liverpool contra Manchester City: “Después de todo, realmente nos robaron.” “Una generación de hinchas tramposos.” https://t.co/y02X2AeUyS— Luis Omar Tapia (@LuisOmarTapia) October 11, 2026 The hosts burst into action, desperate to break the deadlock. Andoni Iraola's men unleashed a flurry of three shots at Gianluigi Donnarumma in rapid succession, but luck was not on their side. Koumas, Gravenberch, and Mac Allister all came agonisingly close, yet the scoreboard stubbornly read 0-0. The injury-ravaged Reds, missing Isak, Gakpo, and Szoboszlai, seemed poised to finally tip the balance and claim victory. But the script flipped dramatically when Gravenberch saw red after collecting two yellow cards within the first 15 minutes of the second half.The relentless tempo surged on, but now the action thundered toward the opposite goal.Erling Haaland, quiet with just nine touches before halftime, squandered a golden chance but quickly made amends, conjuring a breathtaking one-touch masterpiece to redeem himself.🚨🤯 HAALAND SCORED IT IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE! https://t.co/JkR7OW9QyX— The Final Whistle (@Rufus_45) October 11, 2026 The Norwegian striker sprang onto a deflected ball and hammered it past Alisson, all thanks to Jeremy Doku's dazzling run down the left wing.Doku ensured Ronald Araujo would never forget him, as the Belgian winger dazzled his way to a Man of the Match display. After orchestrating Haaland's opener, Doku glided inside, shifted the ball to his right, and unleashed a stunning strike into the top corner for 0-2.JEREMY DOKU ARE YOU MADDD!! WHAT A FUCKING GOAL!!! 🔥 https://t.co/HM9iej6Dc0— 𝐟𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐯 (@fedevalv_) October 11, 2026 It was a sensational finish, easily among the season's finest goals, and it instantly crushed the ten-man Reds' hopes.Rayan Cherki added the final flourish to Manchester City's breathtaking second-half performance, leaving the bewildered hosts with no choice but to applaud a thoroughly deserved victory.Have you ever seen a goal like this, Cherki 🥶 https://t.co/C7nXX3X0Ga— 🧢🇷🇼 (@BMNCTYY) October 11, 2026 Manchester City braces for the looming appeal over its alleged financial misdeeds and years of questionable business practices. If only their legal team dazzled like their players, but in this courtroom match, the score stands at a lopsided 1-114, a far cry from the 3-0 triumph at Anfield. The result of this legal showdown could soon overshadow today's win, rendering it a mere footnote in just weeks or months.MORE TO FOLLOW…
