Bananas, red cards, and braces: Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea lead Saturday surge
Manchester City fended off Ipswich despite a late penalty scare, Liverpool came from behind against 10-man Brentford, and Pedro Neto inspired Chelsea to victory at Everton.
In a Premier League match, Manchester City defeated Ipswich Town 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium. Phil Foden opened the scoring for City, followed by two goals from Erling Haaland, securing a winning margin for the hosts. Ipswich mounted a late comeback with goals from Daizen Maeda and Zian Flemming, but Haaland’s second goal ensured City’s victory and extended manager Enzo Maresca’s winning streak at the top of the table.
In another match, Liverpool came from behind to win 2-1 against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium. Brentford took the lead through Lewis-Potter in the 44th minute, but Liverpool equalized in the 62nd minute through Víctor Muñoz after Yehor Yarmolyuk was sent off. Alexander Isak sealed the win for Liverpool with a goal in the 70th minute, resulting in Brentford's first loss of the season and Liverpool's resurgence after a previous defeat.
