In a Matchweek 6 clash, Manchester City secured a commanding 3–0 away victory over Liverpool, maintaining a perfect record of six wins from six games to lead the Premier League. It was the €220 million Norwegian striking sensation, Erling Haaland, who broke the deadlock for City.

Throughout the match, Haaland—wearing the number 9 soccer shirt—scored a goal from just two shots and earned a high rating of 7.6. This marked Haaland's ninth goal in 12 appearances against Liverpool across all competitions; notably, he has scored in each of his last four encounters with them, tallying six goals in that span.

After the match, Haaland—still in his Manchester City jersey—approached the away section to interact with the fans. He wore a faint smile, yet his eyes appeared to well up with tears. As is widely known, Manchester City is facing severe penalties following the Premier League's confirmation of charges regarding financial irregularities. Despite the turmoil, the team withstood the pressure to triumph in this high-profile showdown.
