Virgil van Dijk admitted that Ryan Gravenberch getting sent off changed the match completely as Liverpool suffered a three nil loss against Manchester City at Anfield.

The first half showed a strong intensity from the home side, but everything shifted when the midfielder received his second yellow card in the sixty second minute.

Quick goals decide the fixture

Manchester City capitalised immediately on the numerical advantage with two goals in the space of six minutes through Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku.

Rayan Cherki added a stunning third goal later to seal the victory and hand manager Andoni Iraola his first defeat since taking charge of the club.

Betting implications in the outright markets

The heavy defeat is likely to make Liverpool longer in the Premier League title odds, while Manchester City will shorten in the outright winner markets after a statement away win.

Punters backing Liverpool to end their poor home run will need to rethink their strategy, especially with the team now winless in five successive home league matches.

What it means for a bet

Backers should push Liverpool out in their title betting portfolios while shortening positions on Manchester City.
