Enzo Maresca, Manchester City's manager, emphasized the need for the club to "make their own noise" by winning games, following a guilty verdict on over 100 charges of breaking Premier League financial rules. In their first match since the ruling, City defeated Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield, extending their lead at the top of the Premier League by three points. Maresca, who replaced Pep Guardiola, has maintained a flawless record, winning all eight games across competitions. The victory saw Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku, and Rayan Cherki score after Liverpool's Ryan Gravenberch received a red card. Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola experienced his first defeat, with his side now nine points off the top in ninth place, hampered by the absence of Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexander Isak, and Cody Gakpo. Maresca expressed immense happiness, stating the win was crucial for the entire club amidst the ongoing appeal.
