Entertaining
In our opinion, Liverpool were the better team against Manchester City and deservedly won the match.
However, City played some good football at times and did not let the Reds walk away with the win.
Nunez did well after coming on as a substitute, and the Liverpool striker will be a handful for opposition defenders this season.
As for Haaland, yes, the Norwegian striker missed an easy chance, but some of his movements were brilliant and showed what a quality player he is.
