Erling Haaland was also the decisive player against Brentford FC, scoring a brace in Manchester City’s 2-1 win, making him his eighth and ninth Premier League goals of the current season. After four games, no player in the history of the English top flight (since 1992) had scored as many goals. The Norwegian displaced former Man United striker Wayne Rooney, who had eight goals at the same time in 2011/12. Haaland is in the top range of the statistics three times.
Yoane Wissa had put the guests from London ahead in the first minute. For City, former German national team captain Ilkay Gündogan was in the starting line-up for the first time since his return to Manchester.
Hürzeler’s Brighton with a scoreless draw against Ipswich, but still undefeated
