Premier: the scandal does not slow down City, 3-0 victory at Liverpool

Manchester City won 3-0 at Liverpool in their first match after the club was found guilty of more than 100 breaches of Premier League financial rules. A heavy shadow that did not weigh on the performance of Enzo Maresca's team, leader of the Premier League with six victories in as many matches.

The big match on the sixth day of the Premier League had a much bigger impact on Gravenberch's expulsion for a second yellow card around the 15th minute of the second half because with the Reds down to ten men the guests scored three times in 13 minutes with Haaland, Doku and Cherki. The arrival at Anfield Road was not peaceful for Citizens, escorted by the police for fear of a heated welcome but the Liverpool fans limited themselves to chanting chants dedicated to the "cheats" and calling for "relegation", while the stalls were full of flags and scarves mocking City's financial scandal. In the Kop corner, the banner stood out with the words "a generation of fans cheated" by the maneuvers of the Manchester club, which according to an independent commission implemented fake agreements to inflate revenues and reduce costs by over 900 million pounds (1.2 billion dollars) between 2009 and 2018.

Riccardo Calafiori scores his first goal at the Emirates Stadium and it is a fundamental goal: that of the momentary 1-1 against Leeds, in the 17th minute, which paves the way for the Gunners' comeback, completed 8 minutes later by Bruno Guimaraes. A victory that relaunches Arteta's team in the Premier League, with 15 points after 6 days - currently in the lead together with Manchester City, who however have a game in hand.

Roberto De Zerbi and Sandro Tonali's Tottenham were saved at the last minute, still without victories in the league. In the match between famous and struggling teams at Old Trafford against Manchester United, Spurs went 1-0 down, pierced by a goal from Mbeumo in the 28th minute and were numerically inferior due to Bentancur's expulsion; a header from Solanke in injury time, however, gave De Zerbi a fundamental point to stay on the bench.
