After Gravenberch's red card, City score three at Anfield
NBC Sports' full-match highlights pass close to 700,000 views in ten hours, and the comments keep coming back to Jérémy Doku.

Liverpool v. Manchester City | PREMIER LEAGUE HIGHLIGHTS | 10/11/2026 | NBC Sports
For most of the first half at Anfield, Liverpool pushed and Manchester City held. Then Ryan Gravenberch picked up a second yellow card, and the afternoon changed.
NBC Sports' highlights show how quickly it fell apart for the home side. Erling Haaland broke the deadlock from close range, Doku curled in a second, and Rayan Cherki dribbled through the defense for the third. "Whatever the context, whatever the circumstances, that's a tremendous goal," the commentator says of Doku's strike. Jon Champion, Lee Dixon and Graeme Le Saux are on the call, and Rebecca Lowe closes the reel.
The upload reached nearly 700,000 views in its first ten hours, where a regular NBC Sports video usually draws a few thousand on its whole first day. The comment section moved faster still: close to a thousand comments, against the couple a typical upload collects on day one.
Much of that talk is about Doku. Viewers credit him with drawing the foul for Gravenberch's second yellow and with the deflected shot that fell to Haaland, before his own goal. Some think the red card was harsh. Others prefer to replay Cherki's run, and how far one defender slid trying to stop it.
The weekend's other highlights made strong starts too, with Crystal Palace-Nottingham Forest and Hull City-Everton both well past 100,000 views. The 2 Robbies, recording live at Premier League Fan Fest in Denver, opened their episode on City, setting the win against an independent commission's ruling on the club's finances.
