Manchester City moved within four points of the Premier League leaders with a commanding 3-0 win over rivals Liverpool on Sunday.

Pep Guardiola celebrated his 1,000th match as a manager with a resounding victory, which has significant implications for the title race.

City entered the game knowing that Arsenal had dropped points at Sunderland on Saturday.

They started the match with urgency. Erling Haaland saw his penalty saved before heading in the opener.

Just before the half-time whistle, Nico Gonzalez’s long-range effort deflected in off Virgil van Dijk’s boot.

Jeremy Doku, who produced a Man of the Match performance, curled in a sublime effort as City secured all three points.

Guardiola’s men now have 22 points, four fewer than Arsenal, while Liverpool remain eighth with 18 points.
