Manchester City keep perfect Premier League start as Haaland strikes twice
Manchester City maintained their perfect start to the Premier League season with a 3-2 home victory over Ipswich Town on Saturday, moving to seven wins from seven matches.
Erling Haaland scored twice as City responded to their midweek Champions League defeat by Paris Saint-Germain with another league victory. The result preserved City’s flawless record, while Ipswich were beaten in a five-goal contest.
Liverpool recover at Brentford
Liverpool also returned to winning ways in the league, coming from behind to defeat Brentford 2-1 away from home. The victory followed Liverpool’s midweek Champions League win over LASK, according to ESPN’s weekend roundup.
Chelsea added a second consecutive Premier League win by beating Everton 2-0. Pedro Neto scored twice, but Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez was forced off after a head injury sustained in a collision with Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite.
Martinez later said he had undergone surgery following the incident, adding a significant injury development to Chelsea’s victory.
Villa edge Newcastle
Aston Villa completed the headline Premier League results with a 1-0 win at Newcastle United. Johan Manzambi scored the decisive 36th-minute header, giving Villa a fourth victory in five matches in all competitions.
The weekend’s results leave City’s early-season momentum intact, while Liverpool, Chelsea and Villa each strengthened their positions after victories on the road.
