Manchester City Beat Sunderland in Humdinger to Maintain 100% League Start
- On Sunday, September 20, 2026, Manchester City maintained their 100% Premier League start with a 5-3 victory over Sunderland at Etihad Stadium, despite a hat-trick from forward Brian Brobbey.
- Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca extended his perfect winning start to five matches, moving three points clear at the top of the Premier League, while Sunderland has struggled since their promotion over 12 months ago.
- City's goals came from Enzo Fernandez, Rayan Cherki, Antoine Semenyo, and Erling Haaland, with Haaland ending the visitors' "brave fight with City" by scoring the fifth goal in the 81st minute.
- Defensive lapses and a "pinball-like approach" in the box hampered Sunderland throughout, yet the team proved they will "roll over for absolutely nobody" despite the 5-3 result.
- Following three matches in seven days, midfielder Granit Xhaka will join Switzerland for international duty, leaving head coach Murat Yakin to determine if the player needs rest before Premier League action next month.
