Manchester City moved to the top of the Premier League after a 5-3 win against Sunderland. Enzo Fernandez scored his first goal for the club early in the game at the Etihad Stadium. Sunderland fought back with Brian Brobbey scoring a hat-trick, but City maintained their lead with goals from Rayan Cherki, Antoine Semenyo - who scored twice - and Erling Haaland.
The win, City's fifth successive league victory, puts them three points above Arsenal heading into the international break. According to the New Straits Times, City have the only perfect record left in the Premier League this season.
City's defensive issues were exposed by Sunderland, and manager Enzo Maresca will be concerned ahead of games against Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain after the break, as reported by the New Straits Times.
