Haaland double helps Man City win, Neto brace cheers Chelsea
On the pitch it is very much business as usual, especially for Norwegian goal machine Haaland.
Manchester City bounced back from their midweek loss in Europe, securing a 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town at home. Erling Haaland scored a brace, helping City to maintain their perfect start in the Premier League with seven wins. Despite a strong effort from Ipswich, City clinched the points. Meanwhile, Chelsea emerged victorious in their opener, thanks to Pedro Neto's brace, overcoming Everton 2-0.
The match was marred by an injury to goalkeeper Emi Martinez. Liverpool, down a man at halftime, came from behind to defeat Brentford 2-1, moving above Brentford into fifth place. Fulham claimed their first league win of the season, defeating Hull City 1-0. However, their path to the top of the table remains uncertain due to an ongoing appeal against the club's alleged breach of 114 Premier League financial rules.
