Manchester City defeated Sunderland 5-3, extending their lead to three points at the top of the Premier League, despite Brian Brobbey's impressive hat-trick. Sunderland, however, made the game exciting by taking the lead three times at the Etihad Stadium. Enzo Fernandez opened the scoring with a free-kick from a Chelsea-record £125 million ($167 million) move.
Brobbey scored Sunderland's goals, including the first and final ones in a fine Sunderland move. Antoine Semenyo and Erling Haaland added to City's tally, cementing Haaland's record of scoring against every Premier League side he has faced. Meanwhile, Liverpool secured a 1-0 victory against Bournemouth, moving up to sixth place, just a point behind third-placed Brighton.
Liverpool's return to Europe brought Andoni Iraola back to Anfield, but his performance was inconsistent. Cody Gakpo scored the only goal for Liverpool with Alexander Isak converting it from a Cody Gakpo cross. The win came as a relief for Liverpool, who were struggling to stay in contention. Leeds United drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace, missing out on claiming the third position.
