Brace for Erling Haaland as City Hold on to Beat Ipswich
Manchester City extended its perfect league start to seven wins as Erling Haaland took his season tally to 12 goals.
On Saturday, Manchester City extended their perfect Premier League start to seven matches by defeating Ipswich Town 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium.
Phil Foden opened the scoring in the 19th minute, but Ipswich equalized in the 21st minute when Daizen Maeda converted a swift counter-attack.
Haaland restored the lead with a 34th-minute header from Mateo Kovacic's cross, then added his 12th goal of the season in the 69th minute.
Defiant City fans displayed inflatable bananas to symbolize commitment to the club, which remains under scrutiny after being found guilty of more than 100 breaches of Premier League financial rules.
Manager Enzo Maresca faces injury concerns after Haaland limped down the tunnel; City must now prepare to host AEK Athens in the Champions League on Thursday.
Manchester City have consolidated their top spot in the Premier League table after a 3-2 win over Ipswich in the seventh round of the English Premier League. They are six points ahead of second-placed Arsenal, who play away to Nottingham Forest on Sunday. Enzo Maresca has broken the prestigious record for consecutive wins with the City team.
