Manchester City showed their depth and slickness on Sunday, rolling over Liverpool 3-0 to move second on the Premier League table.
What happened?
Pep Guardiola's Manchester City celebrated his 1000th match as a manager with a big win over heated rival Liverpool. Erling Haaland scored his 99th Premier League goal to start the fireworks, and later saw Nico Gonzalez and Jeremy Doku join the score sheet.
Why it matters for Manchester City
The result will feel even better after Arsenal coughed up two points on Saturday, but City have many more reasons to smile as Guardiola's side go second, four points behind leaders Arsenal after 11 matches.
What comes next?
City return from the international break and face the always-tricky trip to Newcastle United at St. James' Park on November 22, then host Bayer Leverkusen three days later in the UEFA Champions League.
