  "account": "Antoine Semenyo netted twice as Manchester City defeated Sunderland 5-3 in a thrilling eight-goal Premier League match at the Etihad Stadium. The Ghana forward scored once in each half, giving City their fifth consecutive league win. City took the lead early on, with goals from Enzo Fernández, Rayan Cherki, and Semenyo. Sunderland fought back, with Brian Brobbey scoring a hat-trick to bring the score to 1-1, 2-2, and 3-3. Semenyo restored City's lead after the break, and Erling Haaland sealed the victory with his first Premier League goal against Sunderland. Sunderland reduced the deficit to 4-3 but failed to complete a comeback. Haaland's late strike ensured Manchester City's perfect start continued after five matches. For Semenyo, the brace highlighted his growing importance to City's attack.",
