Haaland nets double as Man City go six points clear at the top

Manchester City secured their first seven wins of a Premier League season, marking a historic achievement for the club, with a convincing 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town at the Etihad Stadium. Erling Haaland was the hero, netting two goals to secure his hat-trick, while Phil Foden and Haaland's teammate Daizen Maeda also found the back of the net.

Daizen Maeda initially put Ipswich ahead with a well-taken goal, but Haaland restored City's lead shortly after. Enzo Maresca's side held on to lead through halftime, thanks to another brilliant strike from Haaland. Despite Zian Flemming's late penalty to level the scores for Ipswich, City managed to see out the contest, winning by a narrow margin.

The victory came as no surprise to the home fans, who showed their unwavering support for the club by booing the Premier League anthem at the start of the match and waving inflatable bananas, a tradition revived from the 1980s. This win is a significant milestone for City, as they join Chelsea (2005-06) and Liverpool (2019-20) as the only clubs to win their first seven games of a Premier League season.
