Man City thump Liverpool at Anfield | Liverpool 0-3 Man City | Premier League Highlights
Liverpool's afternoon ended with Ryan Gravenberch sent off and Erling Haaland, Jérémy Doku and Rayan Cherki all on the scoresheet for Manchester City. Sky Sports Premier League's highlights capture a three-goal away win, but Cherki's contribution gets particular attention in the comments.
Viewers keep returning to his finish and close control, with Doku's goal also featuring in the conversation. The upload passed a million views in its first ten hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full first day. Its comment section was many times busier than a regular upload's, too.
The match sits at the center of a substantial Super Sunday discussion. Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher's postmatch reaction drew an unusually large early audience, alongside a separate panel assessment of Liverpool's performance featuring Carragher, Roy Keane, Micah Richards and Daniel Sturridge.
There is an off-field story running beside the football. Sky's separate financial-rules discussion reports that an independent Premier League Commission found City in breach of the competition's rules. City deny wrongdoing and have lodged an appeal. That discussion also drew an unusually fast audience, making the channel's City coverage about more than the Anfield scoreline.
Elsewhere on Sky's upload shelf, Hull City's draw with Everton and Crystal Palace's comeback against Nottingham Forest both attracted unusually large early audiences. Anfield supplied the biggest match-highlight audience among those uploads, with Cherki's goal giving viewers a specific moment to keep discussing.
