Manchester City, who on Tuesday successfully started the defense of their triumph in the Champions League with a 3-1 win over Crvena zvezda Belgrade, decided the match in the first quarter of an hour. In the seventh minute, after Rodri’s long cross into the box, Walker returned the ball behind him, and Foden aimed a left-footed shot right at the post. In the next seven minutes, Haaland increased the score with a powerful header and consolidated his position as the best scorer in the competition.
Right at the beginning of the second half, Rodri received a red card for a fight with Gibbs-White, who hit him in the neck. However, Pep Guardiola’s men kept their lead even in ten.
Manchester United won 1-0 at Burnley and succeeded for the first time after three competitive defeats. The “Red Devils” first lost 1-3 at Arsenal, then lost at home to Brighton with the same result, and in the week they were not enough in the opening match of the basic group of the Champions League against Bayern Munich with a result of 3-4.
The win over Burnley was decided at the end of the first act by captain Fernandes with an exemplary volley. His hit was preceded by an equally impressive pass from the thirty-five-year-old Evans. For the first time since his return to Manchester in the summer, the Northern Ireland international featured in the starting line-up and even scored in the 25th minute, but his joy was thwarted by the video referee, who disallowed the goal for offside.
United have nine points after six rounds and are eighth. Burnley have one point after a draw with Nottingham and are last on points behind Luton and Sheffield United.
The first point in the top competition was won by newcomer Luton, who drew 1:1 with weakened Wolverhampton. The guests played from the 39th minute without the suspended Bellegard, who stepped on the home team’s captain Lockyer after a duel. Nevertheless, Wolves took the lead after the break, but in the 65th minute Morris equalized from a penalty for Gomes’ hand.
Everton scored their first win of the season, winning 3:1 at Brentford. Midfielder Doucouré opened the scoring in the sixth minute, but after less than half an hour of play, home team Jensen equalized. Doucouré still hit the crossbar before the break, but it was only after a corner in the 67th minute that he broke the deadlock with a header into the net of his former club’s defender Tarkowski, and four minutes later sealed the result for Calvert-Lewin.
The three points lifted Everton out of the relegation zone and into 15th place. 12th-placed Brentford are still waiting for their first home win of the season.
