Antoine Semenyo stars with brace and assist as Man City edge Sunderland 5-3

Manchester City maintained their position at the top of the Premier League with a 5-3 victory over Sunderland, despite Brian Brobbey scoring a hat-trick for the hosts. Enzo Fernandez opened the scoring for City with his first goal since moving from Chelsea for £125 million. Sunderland's Robin Roefs conceded a free-kick to Fernandez, who expertly curled a free-kick past the near post.

Sunderland's Brobbey equalised with a swift response, followed by Rayan Cherki's assist. Antoine Semenyo scored City's third, but Brobbey restored the Black Cats' lead just four minutes later. Erling Haaland scored City's fourth and fifth goals to ensure a victory for their boss Enzo Maresca, who has now beaten every Premier League side he has faced this season.

Liverpool secured a 1-0 win over Bournemouth, with Cody Gakpo's cross finding the back of the net for Alexander Isak. The win lifts Liverpool to sixth place, just one point behind third-placed Brighton. Leeds drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace, with Tyrick Mitchell's goal ruled out for offside. Manchester United travel to bottom-of-the-table Fulham in their next game after struggling to score in their opening four matches.
