Erling Haaland and City continue to win (5-1) while Tottenham impresses (5-2) and Chelsea disappoints again (0-1). Following the 4th day of Premier League this Saturday afternoon with several beautiful games on the lawns of England. Manchester City received Fulham to continue his flawless Championship. For this, Pep Guardiola (still absent from the bench for health concerns), relied on the last rookie Jérémy Doku as a starter. The opportunity for him to score points against a Fulham team that started without Palhinha after his aborted transfer to Bayern Munich in the last moments.
The start of the match was in the favor of the Cityzens who, as in the first days, could not achieve their domination by goals. We had to wait for a good service from Erling Haaland for Julian Alvarez to open the score at the half-hour mark (31′). But the Cottagers equalised right away thanks to Ream (33′). Finally, the match tipped just before halftime with the goal of Nathan Aké (45th+5). After the break, the inevitable Erling Haaland punished the opponent three times, scoring his 40th, 41st and 43rd goals in the Premier League since his debut (in 39 matches please). Manchester City thus won widely (5-1) and remained in the lead with 4 victories in as many matches.
Heung-min Her treat, Chelsea disappoints
As runner-up of the Skyblues, we now find Tottenham. The formation of Ange Postecoglou totally crushed the promoted Burnley who had nevertheless opened the score. But the Spurs steamroller made Vincent Kompany’s men give up. In the absence of Harry Kane going to Bayern Munich, it is Heung-min Son who regales. The South Korean earned a hat-trick in the game as Romero and Maddisson found the net (5-2).
Finally, in the other games, Chelsea was again disappointing at home by losing to Nottingham Forest. Sweden’s Elanga scored the only goal of the match. The teammates of Malo Gusto and Axel Disasi could not make the difference in this match (0-1) with a weak offensive animation. Only two forwards were starting at kick-off: Sterling and Jackson. Brentford drew Bournemouth (2-2) in the extra time.
