  "account": "Manchester City secured a surprising victory over Sunderland in an exciting match, despite the Black Cats' tenacious efforts. Erling Haaland, who failed to score against his own team in previous matches, put the visitors 4-0 up with a hat-trick, marking a historic feat as only the second player to achieve this against City. Despite Sunderland's valiant performance, the Red Devils emerged as the clear winners, boasting a 5-3 final score.",
  "summary": "Man City 5-3 Sunderland: Brian Brobbey ran City’s defence ragged and scored a hat-trick, leaving Enzo Maresca plenty to ponder – even in victory",
