Football

In the early morning of November 10th, a focus match in the 11th round of the Premier League was held at the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City faced Liverpool at home. Wirtz, who is worth 130 million in this campaign, continued to misfire. Haaland missed a penalty kick, but made up for it with a header. Nico Gonzalez and Doku scored successively, and Manchester City beat their opponents 3-0.

Man City had 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in the first 10 rounds, temporarily ranking third in the standings with 19 points. In the Champions League in midweek, they won Dortmund 4-1 without any blood, and the morale of the team was high. Liverpool has 6 wins and 4 losses, ranking sixth with 18 points. However, it defeated its old rival Real Madrid 1-0 at home in midweek.

Manchester City follows the 433 formation in this game, with Haaland, Doku and Shirki joining the striker, and Seat B, Foden and Nico Gonzalez forming a three-man midfield. For Liverpool, Ekitic leads the 4231 formation, with Salah, Szoboszlai and Wirtz all playing, and Hrafenberch and McAllister partnering as a double midfielder.

In the 8th minute, Salah received a long pass, singled out Ruben Dias on the right side of the penalty area, and finally forced a shot, which was confiscated by Donnarumma. In the 12th minute, Bradley made a mistake in getting stuck in the backcourt and Doku was brought down by Mamardashvili in the penalty area. The referee awarded a penalty kick based on VAR replay. However, Mamardashvili made up for it, rejecting Haaland's penalty kick, and Liverpool escaped.

In the 26th minute, Haaland retreated to initiate a counterattack. Shirki's direct pass was just right. Doku hit the goal from a small angle on the left, and Van Dijk responded with a key block.

In the 28th minute, Nunes broke through from the right, swung the ball from an angle and passed the ball. Haaland succeeded with a header, and Manchester City took the lead, 1-0! This season, Haaland's header ability has improved significantly. He scored 14 goals in only 11 rounds. He is far ahead in the scorer list, surpassing Mbappe and Kane, and arrogantly surpassing the entire five major leagues.

In the 38th minute, Liverpool once equalized the score. Hrafenberch passed a corner kick and Van Dijk headed into the far corner. However, VAR signaled Robertson's offside position for interference, and the joy was in vain.

In the 3rd minute of stoppage time, Seat B broke through the cross from the left, Nico Gonzalez shot from outside the penalty area, the ball hit Van Dyke's calf and refracted into the net. Mamardashvili was beyond reach, and Manchester City expanded the result, 2-0!

In the 55th minute of the easy-side battle, Liverpool made consecutive substitutions. Ekitic and Robertson were replaced, and Gakpo and Kyle Ketz played.

In the 58th minute, Bradley made a pass from the right, and Nico Gonzalez made a clearance and kicked the ball. He almost scored an own goal, and the ball hit the crossbar and bounced out. One minute later, Bradley made a pass from the right, and Gakpo hit the ball with a powerful shot from behind.

Liverpool frequently missed good opportunities and were punished quickly. In the 62nd minute, O'Reilly passed back an inverted triangle from the left. Doku showed his personal ability, swayed from the edge of the penalty area, and decisively kicked the ball straight into the upper right corner of the goal. Manchester City sealed the victory, 3-0!

In this game, Doku made a penalty kick and scored 1 goal, which can be called MVP.

In the 79th minute, Donnarumma's long pass was intercepted, Soboszlai headed the ball over, and Salah made a single shot with his instep outside the goal, missing the opportunity again.

In the end, Manchester City won 3-0, avenging last season's 0-2 home defeat. It also ended its 4-game winless streak against the Red Army and rose to second place in the standings, 4 points behind the leader Arsenal. It can be said that it killed two birds with one stone. Liverpool, on the other hand, was knocked back to its original shape and fell to 8th in the standings!
