In the second half, Jeremy Doku added a stunning third goal, curling a shot into the top corner from the edge of the penalty area, showcasing City’s offensive prowess.

Despite some chances, including a near miss from Mo Salah in the 79th minute, Liverpool struggled to find the back of the net. City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was instrumental, making several key saves to maintain the clean sheet.
