Eight-Goal Thriller: Sunderland Suffer Narrow Defeat at Man City

On Matchday 5 of the Premier League, Manchester City celebrate a thrilling 5-3 home victory against Sunderland.

Brian Brobbey scores a hat-trick for the visitors - yet the "Black Cats" are unable to take a point from the Etihad Stadium.

With Kevin Danso in the starting XI, the visitors concede an early 0-1 goal from Enzo Fernandez (9'), but Brobbey equalizes just three minutes later.

The Sunderland striker also quickly equalizes the "Skyblues'" renewed lead through Rayan Cherki (29') shortly after (33'). However, a goal from Antoine Semenyo still sends the hosts into halftime with a lead (43').

Erling Haaland, who misses several clear-cut chances on the day, decides the match in the final fifteen minutes (81').

Liverpool Win Against Rose

Liverpool FC also celebrate three points. The "Reds" secure a narrow 1-0 victory at AFC Bournemouth.

Against Marco Rose's team, who is still waiting for his first win as coach of the "Cherries," Alexander Isak scores the decisive goal after about an hour (57').

Leeds United, however, miss the chance to get closer to Arsenal: The "Whites" cannot manage more than a 0-0 draw at home against Crystal Palace.
