Brian Brobbey scored a hat-trick in a losing cause as Manchester City maintained their 100% Premier League start with a frantic 5-3 win over Sunderland on Sunday. In a game characterised by poor defending, City struggled to kill off the fired-up visitors at the Etihad Stadium, with Brobbey a constant thorn in their side.
Manchester City and Sunderland clashed in an eight-goal thriller at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, with the Red Devils emerging victorious 5-3 in a frenetic display. Brian Brobbey, who scored a hat-trick, was a constant thorn in Manchester City's side as they struggled to stifle the fired-up visitors. Antoine Semenyo and Erling Haaland added two more goals each for City, who secured their 100% start to the Premier League season.
New manager Enzo Maresca claimed at least a fifth successive league win, putting Manchester City at the top of the table with a three-point lead ahead of the international break. Liverpool secured a 1-0 win at home against Bournemouth, with Alexander Isak's second-half strike extending the Reds' unbeaten run. Isak, returning to Liverpool after three seasons with Bournemouth, has now scored more Premier League goals in his first five matches than he did in his entire previous top-flight campaign.
