Pep Guardiola‘s men dominated possession and with our first real chance of the game, took the lead after 37 minutes through a superbly improvised finish from Gundogan in his 300th appearance for the club.
The midfielder flicked into the corner with his back to goal from a Riyad Mahrez cross, claiming his third goal in his last two league games.
Two minutes later, the skipper turned provider, crossing expertly for Erling Haaland to head in his 36th Premier League goal of the season with his third touch of the game to have us in command at the interval.
Five minutes after the break, the German doubled his tally for the afternoon, curling a free-kick into the top corner from 24 yards beyond the sprawling Jordan Pickford.

The hosts looked for a way back into the game and almost pulled a goal back shortly after the hour mark, but James Tarkowski’s header cannoned off the top of Ederson‘s crossbar.
We remained professional to see out the victory on Merseyside, cementing our place at the top of the Premier League table, knowing two more wins from our last three games will secure the title.
