Manchester City secured a 5-3 victory over Sunderland in a goal-filled Premier League encounter, maintaining their position at the top of the table with five wins from five matches. The contest saw eight goals shared between the two sides at the Etihad Stadium.
City's goals came from Antoine Semenyo, who scored twice, along with Enzo Fernández, Rayan Cherki, and Erling Haaland. Haaland's goal was his first against Sunderland.
Sunderland's Brian Brobbey achieved a hat-trick, marking the first time a Black Cats player has scored three goals in a Premier League game since Jermain Defoe in 2016. Despite Brobbey's efforts, which saw Sunderland level the score at 1-1 and 2-2 and later reduce the deficit to 4-3, City ultimately sealed the win.
