Manchester City crushed Bournemouth with an emphatic 6-1 win, while Manchester United finally halted their losing streak with a dramatic win against Fulham.
In the thrilling game at the Etihad, young Belgian winger Jeremy Doku shone for City, not only scoring the first goal but also setting up two more as Bournemouth’s defense collapsed under the onslaught. Pep Guardiola’s side, who now have 27 points after 11 games, sit top of the Premier League table, one point ahead of Tottenham Hotspur.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the spectrum, Sheffield United celebrated their first win since promotion, beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 with a last-gasp penalty. However, Burnley’s troubles continued as they suffered a sixth consecutive home defeat, losing 2-0 to Crystal Palace.
Doku’s strike in the 30th minute opened the floodgates for City, who then unleashed a flurry of goals, putting the game beyond Bournemouth’s reach. The Citizens’ rampant display saw Bernardo Silva bag a brace, while Doku continued to shine, assisting two more goals.
Manchester United, on the other hand, suffered a turbulent start to the season, with eight defeats in 15 games in all competitions. The pressure mounted on manager Erik Ten Hag, but his side showed resilience against Fulham. Despite a lackluster performance, United secured a crucial victory thanks to captain Bruno Fernandes’ last-minute heroics, prompting jubilation among the visiting players and fans at Craven Cottage.
Elsewhere, Brighton & Hove Albion salvaged a point in their 1-1 draw against Everton, thanks to an Ashley Young own goal that canceled out Vitaliy Mykolenko’s opener for the home side.
The Premier League saw more excitement as West Ham United succumbed to a 3-2 defeat at Brentford, who claimed their third straight win to climb into the top half of the table. After Neal Maupay gave the hosts the lead, West Ham fought back with goals from Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen. However, Brentford showed great determination as Konstantinos Mavropanos’ own goal and Nathan Collins’ header sealed a thrilling comeback for the Bees.
