Gravenberch sent off
Ryan Gravenberch, booked in the 47th minute, receives a second yellow card. Liverpool play the rest of the match with ten. Doku had come on six minutes earlier.

- 65′
Rayan Cherki added a third in the 78th minute, assisted by Joško Gvardiol, another City substitute, on since the 66th. Two of City’s three goals involved a player who had started the afternoon on the bench.
The second goal, not the winner
Haaland’s opener became the winning goal, and Doku’s should not be described as one. What his goal did was double City’s lead three minutes after the breakthrough, against opponents who had just been reduced to ten. Liverpool did not score in the remaining time.
What the totals show, and what they don’t
Across the full match, Liverpool put six of their 13 shots on target. City put four of their 15 on target and scored three. City had 65% of the possession. Those are full-match totals: they cannot separate what happened before Gravenberch’s dismissal from what happened after it, and they say nothing about how Doku’s goal was created beyond the recorded assist.
For anyone following Doku, the takeaway is specific: a substitute’s goal, scored 12 minutes after he came on, in a match City led only after Liverpool went down to ten. The full match page has the lineups, event timeline and team statistics.
