Haaland's Record Goal Leads Manchester City Past Sunderland
In a thrilling English Premier League match, Manchester City overcame Sunderland 5-3, with Erling Haaland scoring a record-setting goal. The match featured five first-half goals, beginning with Enzo Fernandez's free-kick goal for City at nine minutes.
Sunderland's Brian Brobbey quickly equalized, scoring a close-range finish three minutes later. Brobbey scored again on 33 minutes, restoring parity after Ryan Cherki had put City ahead 2-1.
Antoine Semenyo added two goals for City, but Brobbey completed his hattrick, marking the first by a Sunderland player since Jermaine Defoe in 2016. Haaland, who had missed an earlier opportunity, sealed the victory with a well-placed finish, becoming only the second EPL player to score against all 25 clubs he has faced in the league.
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca became the sixth manager in EPL history to win his first five games, keeping City at the top of the table with 15 points, three ahead of Arsenal.
