Manchester City Already Alone in the Lead, Haaland Overturns Brentford. Liverpool Fall at Home

Manchester City only needed 4 games to leave everyone behind. The reigning champions remain at full points (12 points) by beating Brentford 2-1 thanks to a brace from the usual Haaland and leaving Liverpool behind, who unexpectedly slipped (0-1) with Nottingham Forest at Anfield Road.

Haaland overturns Brentford and already reaches 9 goals

Guardiola’s team were surprised after just 22″ by Wissa who took advantage of a misunderstanding between Stones and Ederson but rolled up their sleeves and in just 13′ (19′ and 32′) overturned the result with a brace from Haaland, who already reached 9. In the second half, in which Rodri made his seasonal debut, the Norwegian tried to score the third goal that would have made him the first player in the Premier League to score 3 hat-tricks in 3 consecutive games but the visiting goalkeeper Mark Flekken denied him on more than one occasion from reaching the record.

Liverpool KO at home to Nottingham Forest after 55 years

Liverpool lost to Nottingham Forest at home after 55 years. For Arne Slot it is the first official defeat on the bench of the reds. Salah and his teammates squandered the lead on more than one occasion and in the end (72′) they were slipped by Hudson Odoi, who replaced Dominguez at the beginning of the second half.

Decisively, United pass (0-3) to Southampton

Manchester United also smiles with City, having achieved their first victory after two defeats, beating Southampton (0-3). The victory was less easy than the final score suggests. Much of the credit goes to Onana, who saved a penalty from Archer in the 33rd minute, allowing De Ligt, who scored 2 minutes later, to change the course of the match. The Red Devils recovered, doubled their lead in the 41st minute with Rashford and then, in the final minutes, after the Saints were reduced to 10 men due to Stephens’ expulsion (79′), they scored the third goal in injury time (96′) with Garnacho.

Brighton, West Ham and Leicester draw

Brighton and Ipswich drew 0-0, while Ings responded to Jimenez in the 1-1 draw between Fulham and West Ham at the last minute. Finally, the match between Crystal Palace and Leicester also ended in a draw (2-2). The Foxes took a double lead with Vardy and Mavididi, before the hosts came back with a brace from Mateta (one from a penalty).
