Humiliation at Anfield! Haaland ends his curse as Cherki tears Liverpool’s defense apart. VIDEO
Manchester City gave Liverpool a painful evening at Anfield. The visitors ruthlessly capitalized on their chances to thrash the hosts 3-0, leaving the home fans to endure one of the most bitter episodes in this fierce rivalry.
Erling Haaland was one of the standout performers of the match. The Norwegian striker continues to lead the Premier League scoring charts, averaging a goal per game. What’s more, he finally ended an unusual streak: before this encounter, Haaland had never scored from open play at Anfield. That peculiar curse is now a thing of the past.
Jérémy Doku then made the most of his opportunity, before Ryan Cherki delivered the final blow to Liverpool. The French talent toyed with the Merseysiders’ defense, adding a third goal and turning the scoreline into a rout.
Cherki is enjoying an impressive run of form: after six Premier League matches, he has four goals and two assists to his name. Across all competitions, the Frenchman has already scored five goals.
