Manchester City extended their lead at the top of the Premier League with an ultimately comfortable 3–0 win over Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, making it six wins from six to maintain their perfect start to the season.
Heading into the game, the focus was as much on City’s ongoing financial case as it was on the soccer itself. With the club found guilty of 114 of the 115 charges brought against them, questions over potential punishments—including points deductions and stripped titles—continued to dominate the headlines.
