City goes on rampage after Mane sent off

MANCHESTER City capitalised on Sadio Mane’s red card to thrash title rival Liverpool 5-0, while Manchester United lost its 100 per cent record after a 2-2 draw at Stoke.

City goalkeeper Ederson was stretchered off in a neck brace after being caught in the face by Mane’s boot as he raced out to head the ball away, with the Liverpool winger dismissed for the clash late in the first half at Eastlands.

City already led 1-0 through Sergio Aguero’s opener at that point and braces from Gabriel Jesus and substitute Leroy Sane completed City’s biggest win over Liverpool since 1937.

City is unbeaten in four Premier League games.

“After 10 v 11 it was a little bit easier for us and we played the second half the way we wanted to,” City manager Pep Guardiola said.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said: “The decisive decision in the whole game was the red card. I don’t think it was a red card. Sadio didn’t see the goalkeeper.”

United conceded for the first time in the league this season when Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting swept home from Mame Biram Diouf’s 43rd-minute cross to notch his first Stoke goal.

At the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal eased the pressure on Arsene Wenger with a 3-0 win against Bournemouth.

Harry Kane reached his Tottenham century as the England striker’s brace inspired an impressive 3-0 win at Everton. Kane bagged his 100th Tottenham goal in the 28th minute.

Chelsea survived a tense finish to record a 2-1 success at Leicester.

Brighton secured its first top-flight win for 34 years, with a 3-1 win over West Bromwich Albion.

Watford handed Southampton coach Mauricio Pellegrino his first league loss, 2-0, thanks to goals from Abdoulaye Doucoure and Daryl Janmaat.
