The record-breaking performance by Erling Haaland for Manchester City in the Premier League does not appear to be coming to an end any time soon.

A single goal from the Norwegian brought his league total to 15 goals despite only scoring once versus Southampton. With this goal, he has now equaled the league-high total of goals scored by Kevin De Bruyne in the previous campaign.

Haaland has scored 15 league goals in just nine games this season, compared to De Bruyne’s season-long total of 15 Premier League goals for Manchester City last year.

Manchester United end Arsenal’s unbeaten streak.

Antony Matheus dos Santos

On Sunday, Antony scored on his Manchester United debut, as the Brazilian’s clinical strike and Marcus Rashford’s double inspired a 3-1 win that ended Arsenal’s unbeaten start to the Premier League season. 

Antony made his debut after joining United from United manager Erik ten Hag’s former club Ajax in an £82 million ($94 million) deal on Thursday. With flicks, tricks, and purposeful movement, the 22-year-old forward scored in just 35 minutes in a dazzling debut for his new fans at Old Trafford. 

Arsenal equalized through Bukayo Saka, but Rashford stunned the leaders with two goals in nine second-half minutes after Antony was replaced by Cristiano Ronaldo. United were able to celebrate a fourth consecutive victory, moving them up to fifth place, thanks to Antony and Rashford. 

Ten Hag’s first two games as manager were humiliating defeats against Brighton and Brentford.

Watch the match highlights below.
