Premier League: Manchester City 3–2 Ipswich, Liverpool 2–1 at Brentford
Haaland scored twice as City extended their streak; Liverpool came from behind to beat Brentford, Fulham won 1-0.
Manchester City extended their Premier League winning run to seven matches with a 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town at the Etihad. Phil Foden opened the scoring in the 19th minute, Daizen Maeda quickly levelled for the visitors, and Erling Haaland struck twice — in the 34th and 69th minutes — to give City a 3-1 lead before Zian Fleming converted a penalty in the 90th minute to reduce the deficit.
Late drama in other London fixtures
Liverpool came from behind to win 2-1 away at Brentford after overturning a first-half deficit. Brentford took the lead in the 44th minute through Kian Lewis-Potter, but they were reduced to ten men just before the break when Yehor Yarmoliuk received a red card. Liverpool capitalised on the extra player when Victor Muñoz equalised in the 62nd minute and Alexander Isak scored the winner in the 70th minute. Brentford lost another player in stoppage time when Vitaly Janelt was also sent off.
Fulham recorded a narrow 1-0 victory over Hull City in the seventh round of Premier League fixtures, securing their first league win of the season. Alex Iwobi netted the only goal in the 33rd minute. Fulham were forced to see out the closing stages with ten men after Ryan Sessegnon received a red card in the 90+4th minute, but they held on to claim the three points.
At the Etihad, manager Enzo Maresca watched his side maintain momentum as Haaland continued to deliver in front of goal, while Ipswich fought back late but ultimately fell short.
Earlier, Borussia Dortmund had dropped points at Union Berlin.
