Manchester United secured their first league win of the season under manager Michael Carrick, thanks to a commanding performance led by captain Bruno Fernandes. The Old Trafford club defeated Ipswich Town 5-2 in a thrilling match at Old Trafford. Fernandes scored a hat-trick, netting once in the first half and twice in the second, to help his team take control.
Ipswich took an early lead through Leif Davies on 29 minutes, but Fernandes equalized with a well-taken finish on 40 minutes after an Ipswich defensive mistake. The home side regained the lead with an own goal in the second half, and Fernandes sealed the victory by scoring twice in quick succession - from the penalty spot and a close-range finish - to make it 4-1.
His final contribution came as an assist for Bryan Mbeumo's fifth goal, giving Manchester United a comfortable 5-2 win. The win marks a significant turnaround for Manchester United, who suffered a poor defeat at Hull City earlier in the season. Ipswich Town, on the other hand, suffered their first ever Premier League loss. Chelsea, meanwhile, extended their winning streak with a 4-3 win over Brighton & Hove Albion at Stamford Bridge, with goals from Romeo Lavia, Neto, Joao Pedro, and Cole Palmer.
