Erling Haaland becomes the Premier League’s fastest player to reach 50 goals.
Manchester City took a first-half lead over Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Cityzens, captained by Pep Guardiola, knew that a win over Jurgen Klopp’s Reds would increase their lead at the top of the league, putting them one step closer to reclaiming the Premier League title.
And starting the game emphatically, the home team have absolutely blown the travelling Reds away.
Striker Erling Haaland, who was a doubt for today’s match, won his fitness race and has produced the goods yet again.
