MANCHESTER CITY HAVE BEATEN LIVERPOOL 3-0 — BUT WHERE ARE THE SANCTIONS?!

Manchester City have maintained their perfect start to the Premier League season with an emphatic victory at Anfield, just weeks after an independent commission found the club guilty of serious breaches of the competition's financial regulations.

But with Manchester City appealing the verdict and punishments still to be determined, Arsenal supporters and rival clubs are left asking some enormous questions about the future of English football.

In today's Arsenal News Show, Tom Canton discusses City's victory over Liverpool, the ongoing financial case, the appeal process and why the delay in determining sanctions is creating such a controversial situation for the Premier League.

ERLING HAALAND, JÉRÉMY DOKU AND RAYAN CHERKI all scored as Enzo Maresca's Manchester City dismantled ten-man Liverpool at Anfield.

The victory puts City three points clear of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table, despite the uncertainty surrounding their future.

Tom admits his mistake regarding sympathy for City supporters and reflects on the state of the game as things stand.

Following the commission's findings, questions are being raised about the potential punishments, including points deductions, expulsion from the Premier League and the implications for clubs who competed against City during the period in question.

City continue to deny wrongdoing and have launched an appeal. No final sanctions have been imposed, meaning the outcome remains uncertain.

We discuss what rival clubs can reasonably expect, why the appeal process matters, whether retrospective action could ever provide meaningful sporting justice and what this situation means for Arsenal's ambitions.

After Arsenal's dramatic 2-1 victory over Leeds United, the Gunners now face the challenge of keeping pace with a Manchester City side that continues to win on the pitch while fighting a major legal battle off it.

Football needs answers. But what should those answers look like?
