Mo Salah doubled Liverpool’s lead with a composed finish, leaving Guardiola to rue his side’s lack of cutting edge in the final third.
The result leaves Liverpool clear at the top of the table, with City languishing in mid-table and already facing an uphill battle to retain their title.
It was a dominant performance from Liverpool, who showed why they are considered the favorites for the title this season.
City, on the other hand, have a lot of work to do if they are to challenge for the top spots in the league.
Overall, it was a statement victory for Liverpool and a worrying sign for City as they look to salvage their season.
