Manchester City solidified their lead at the top of the Premier League after a chaotic 5-3 victory over Sunderland at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. The Dutch striker Brian Brobbey scored a hat-trick for Sunderland, who had ended Arsenal's perfect start just 24 hours earlier. Manchester City took the lead twice, once through Enzo Fernandez and again via Rayan Cheki, but Brobbey equalized both times.
Antoine Semenyo's brace put City up 4-2, and Erling Haaland's first-ever goal against Sunderland secured the win. City's defensive performances were criticized throughout the game. Liverpool, meanwhile, scraped to a 1-0 win at Bournemouth thanks to Alexander Isak's goal, leaving them in sixth place, six points behind leaders Manchester City.
