English Premier League: Newcastle retreat with a new loss at the hands of Brighton
Young Ivan Ferguson scored 3 goals as Brighton & Hove Albion won 3-1 over Newcastle United in the fourth round of the English Premier League today (Saturday).
Brighton advanced with a goal when Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope failed to catch a shot from Billy Gilmour, and it reached 18-year-old Ferguson to score the first goal.
Ferguson added the second goal when he evaded control and hit a powerful ball from a distance in the 65th minute, and completed the hat-trick with a shot that changed its direction at Newcastle defender Fabian Char after 5 minutes.
Substitute Callum Wilson narrowed the gap in stoppage time, but Brighton maintained the victory and the three points.
On a night that saw 26 goals and two hat-tricks scored, Manchester City regained the top spot in the English Premier League after a thrilling victory over Fulham in the fourth round of the tournament.
Norwegian international striker Erling Haaland led his defending champion Manchester City to its fourth successive victory and regain the lead, when he scored a “hat-trick” for him in a 5-1 victory over Fulham at home.
Haaland scored his hat-trick in the 58th and 70th minutes from a penalty kick and 90 + 5, with an assist to Argentine Julian Alvares, from which he opened the scoring (31), while Dutch defender Nathan Ake added the second goal (45 + 4) after American Tim Rim scored the only goal for the guests (33). ).
Haaland was alone at the top of the scorers list with 6 goals so far, and raised his yield to 42 goals in the league since joining City last summer from Borussia Dortmund, Germany, and became the fastest player to achieve this achievement in the Premier League.
Haaland said he was hungry for more goals and glory: “I am always hungry. It’s a new season and I’m ready for it.
It is Haaland’s seventh hat-trick in the colors of City, for which he scored 52 goals last season, and contributed to his crowning of the historic treble (Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup), before adding to it the European Super Cup this summer.
It is the fourth successive victory for City, so it increased its score by 12 points, regaining the lead from West Ham United, who won its host Luton Town 2-1 on Friday, at the opening stage, while Fulham suffered its second loss in its last three matches in the league, so its balance froze at 3 points.
Tottenham continued its good start in the league and exploded its anger at its host, Burnley, after its disappointing exit from the second round of the League Cup competition at the hands of its neighbor Fulham, when it beat it 5-2, including a hat-trick for its new captain, South Korean international striker Heung-Min Son.
It is the third successive victory for Tottenham in the league led by its new Australian coach, Ang Postecoglou, raising its score to 10 points in second place, on goal difference, against its neighbor West Ham United, while Burnley suffered a third loss in a row and remained without a balance.
Chelsea suffered a surprising 1-0 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest, its second this season, after the first against its neighbor West Ham.
Swede Anthony Elanga, newly arrived from Manchester United, scored the only goal in the 48th minute.
And the “Blues” did not help in breaking the British transfer record for the second time in 7 months, in an attempt by its American owners to compensate for the last disappointing season, as Chelsea finished in twelfth place, its lowest since 1994.
Everton and its host Sheffield United got their first point this season with a 2-2 draw. Brentford tied with Bournemouth with two goals each.
