Manchester City continued their flawless start to the Premier League season, securing their seventh consecutive victory with a hard-fought 3-2 win over Ipswich Town. The win, played amidst fan protests against Premier League financial rule breaches, saw City establish a six-point lead at the top of the table.
Erling Haaland was the star of the show, netting a brace to take his season tally to 12 goals. Phil Foden also contributed a goal, marking his return from suspension. Despite a late scare from Ipswich, who scored twice, including a penalty in the final minute, Manchester City held on for the crucial three points. Manager Enzo Maresca also achieved a personal milestone, becoming the first manager in Premier League history to win his first seven games in charge.
