Man City make it three wins in a row, Palace earn first points

Manchester City secured their third consecutive Premier League win, maintaining their perfect 100% record, but their £450-million rebuild is far from complete, as they were pushed hard by newly promoted Coventry City. Erling Haaland scored the decisive goal for City, with assistance from new signing Enzo Fernandez, who made his debut.

City dominated possession, completing 803 passes compared to Coventry's 217. Crystal Palace, meanwhile, made it 3-2, overcoming a goal deficit to beat Fulham, while other games ended in draws. Newcastle United drew 2-2 against Bournemouth, who scored first in three consecutive games but still lacked a victory. Tottenham Hotspur secured their first point of the season, but failed to have a shot on target in their 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest, who had a goal disallowed for handball.

Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford both drew 1-1 with Leeds United and Sunderland, respectively. Hull City held Aston Villa to a 0-0 draw in their match.
