After the walk in the desert of national team football it was delightful to have the leagues start again, and nothing less than a match between Liverpool and Manchester City.
The Manchester side is immersed in a big scandal of financial malpractice. Basically, the club has been cheating for years, but in a world where money dominates, they have already appealed the finding that have found them guilty, and the legal back and forth will probably take years, as the side leads the Premier League, but should probably be forcefully relegated, such as other clubs that have been found to do the same.
But it is Manchester City, one of the biggest clubs in the world.
On the pitch the City side showed their quality in defeating a Liverpool side that had been the better side just until 10 minutes into the second half, when manager Enzo Maresca decided to replace Iliman Ndiaye with the great Belgian Jeremy Doku. He immediately changed the match, forcing Ryan Gravenberch to miss a tackle and get a second yellow, as well as create a chance that Erling Haaland scored the first goal on. Soon after, Doku himself scored a second for Manchester City, before Rayan Cherki made it 0-3 on a goal that seemed more like futsal.
It was pure Doku powerplay as the financial cheaters of Manchester City make seal their first place in the Premier League.
