Erling Haaland also became a key player against FC Brentford and scored his eighth and ninth Premier League goals of the current season with a brace in a 2-1 win over Manchester City. After four games, no player in the history of the English top flight (since 1992) had scored as many goals. The Norwegian replaces former Man United striker Wayne Rooney, who scored eight goals in the same period in 2011/12. In the statistics, Haaland ranks at the top of the rankings three times.
Yoane Wissa put the London guests ahead in the first minute. At City, former German national team captain Ilkay Gündogan was back in the starting XI for the first time since his return to Manchester.
Hürzeler’s Brighton draw with Ipswich but still unbeaten
Former St. Pauli coach Fabian Hürzeler and Brighton & Hove Albion remain unbeaten in the Premier League after matchday four. However, the German side were unable to overcome a 0-0 draw at home to newly promoted Ipswich Town.
The Seagulls have been the dominant team throughout the season. With almost 70% possession, Brighton have had good chances to score. Danny Welbeck, Georginio Rutter and Evan Ferguson all failed to get past Ipswich goalkeeper Arijanet Muric.
After four games, Hürzeler’s team has two wins and two draws. Brighton & Hove Albion’s next home game will be on September 22. Nottingham Forest will then be invited to the Falmer Stadium.
