In the absence of the former duo, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/andoni-iraola\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Andoni Iraola<\/a> turned to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/lewis-koumas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lewis Koumas<\/a> to lead the charge. It wasn\u2019t the Welshman\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/competitions\/premier-league-2026-2027\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Premier League<\/a> debut. It was a huge show of faith nonetheless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>In this article, we&#8217;ll cover:<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-city-ride-out-early-storm-to-secure-three-points\" data-level=\"3\">City ride out early storm to secure three points<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-decisive-doku\" data-level=\"3\">Decisive Doku<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-anderson-at-the-heart\" data-level=\"3\">Anderson at the heart<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The game itself briefly boiled over following a coming together between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/alexis-mac-allister\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alexis Mac Allister<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/elliot-anderson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elliot Anderson<\/a>, a moment that seemed to spur City on. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/antoine-semenyo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Antoine Semenyo<\/a> received the ball down the left flank and drove at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/ronald-araujo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ronald Araujo<\/a>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/ghana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ghana<\/a> star broke down the outside and put a testing low cross in the box that, fortunately for Liverpool, trickled harmlessly across goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a scrappy opening half hour, it was the hosts that had the best chance on the 30-minute mark. Victor Munoz and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/florian-wirtz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Florian Wirtz<\/a> shared a neat one-two, before the former\u2019s cross was turned behind by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/nico-oreilly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nico O\u2019Reilly<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And after the first corner was cleared, Mac Allister hit a bicycle kick over from close range following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/erling-haaland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Erling Haaland<\/a>\u2019s header. Munoz tested <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/gianluigi-donnarumma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gianluigi Donnarumma<\/a> from the edge of the box, though the Italian dealt with the Reds winger\u2019s low strike with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With 10 minutes of the first half remaining, Enzo Fernandez mustered City\u2019s opening shot. The Argentine hoped to curl an effort past Alisson, who was equal to Fernandez\u2019s relatively tame hit. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/rayan-cherki\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rayan Cherki<\/a> and Semenyo both forged chances as City ended the first half the stronger of the two teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Liverpool started the second half well, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/bradley-barcola\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bradley Barcola<\/a>, Koumas, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/ryan-gravenberch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ryan Gravenberch<\/a> and Mac Allister all chanced their luck shortly after the break. Wirtz, meanwhile, dragged a shot wide as Liverpool pushed to make home advantage count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Haaland then saw an effort trickle wide on the hour mark having been played in expertly by Semenyo. Donnarumma was on hand to turn a Gravenberch away from danger, before the Dutchman received his marching orders for a second yellow. And City made their numerical advantage count as Haaland powered in his sixth league goal of the season to hand City the lead shortly after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three minutes later, and City were two goals to the good as substitute Jeremy Doku bagged his side\u2019s second, cutting onto his right and launching an unstoppable curling shot past Alisson. With 12 minutes to go, Cherki capped off a fine City move after some neat interplay from Anderson and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/josko-gvardiol\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Josko Gvardiol<\/a>. The Frenchman sat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/jeremie-frimpong\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jeremie Frimpong<\/a> down before finishing with aplomb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mac Allister tested Donnarumma with a late free-kick, while Cherki and Anderson both pushed to added a fourth as City maintained their 100% start to the season in style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-city-ride-out-early-storm-to-secure-three-points\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">City ride out early storm to secure three points<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Liverpool came flying out of the blocks at Anfield on Sunday afternoon. The Reds pushed to maximise home advantage against Manchester City and were in the ascendency in the opening exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"663\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/10\/11184740\/momentum_vis_Liverpool0-3ManchesterCity_26_27_EPL-1024x663.png\" alt=\"Liverpool vs Man City momentum chart\" class=\"wp-image-1501954\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/10\/11184740\/momentum_vis_Liverpool0-3ManchesterCity_26_27_EPL-1024x663.png 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/10\/11184740\/momentum_vis_Liverpool0-3ManchesterCity_26_27_EPL-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/10\/11184740\/momentum_vis_Liverpool0-3ManchesterCity_26_27_EPL-768x497.png 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/10\/11184740\/momentum_vis_Liverpool0-3ManchesterCity_26_27_EPL-1536x995.png 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/10\/11184740\/momentum_vis_Liverpool0-3ManchesterCity_26_27_EPL-2048x1326.png 2048w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/10\/11184740\/momentum_vis_Liverpool0-3ManchesterCity_26_27_EPL-400x259.png 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/10\/11184740\/momentum_vis_Liverpool0-3ManchesterCity_26_27_EPL-309x200.png 309w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/10\/11184740\/momentum_vis_Liverpool0-3ManchesterCity_26_27_EPL-93x60.png 93w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/10\/11184740\/momentum_vis_Liverpool0-3ManchesterCity_26_27_EPL-150x97.png 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/10\/11184740\/momentum_vis_Liverpool0-3ManchesterCity_26_27_EPL-114x74.png 114w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, once City gained a foothold in the clash on Merseyside, they made light work of Andoni Iraola\u2019s side. They were, of course, helped by Ryan Gravenberch\u2019s second-half dismissal. They capitalised on the Dutchman\u2019s red card well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even so, they were arguably the better of the two teams even before Gravenberch was given his marching orders. It was a matter of when, rather than if, they punished Liverpool in their own back yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-decisive-doku\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Decisive Doku<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A key moment in the game came in the 56th minute. Enzo Maresca opted for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/players\/iliman-ndiaye\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Iliman Ndiaye<\/a> on the flank, with Jeremy Doku starting from the bench.

And Doku maximised his opportunity. That Gravenberch was sent off minutes after he replaced Ndiaye certainly helped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Doku ruthlessly exposed Liverpool\u2019s disadvantage. Indeed, not only did the former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/rennes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rennes<\/a> man score City\u2019s second, that coming from one of two shots, he completed three take ons and created two chances. It was a fine cameo from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/belgium\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Belgium<\/a> international.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-anderson-at-the-heart\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Anderson at the heart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elliot Anderson was in the thick of it from the outset.

Anderson was at the heart of it for Maresca\u2019s men.

That he added an assist for Doku\u2019s fine strike was the cherry on the icing atop the cake.
