Man City beat Ipswich in dramatic finish, Liverpool win at Brentford

In the Premier League, England's top football division, Manchester City beat Ipswich Town 3-2 at home in a round 7 match. The result preserved City's flawless start to the season: seven wins from seven games and the maximum 21 points, which puts them top of the table.

The City match

The hosts took the lead in the 19th minute, when Phil Foden scored after a pass from Jeremy Doku. Two minutes later Ipswich levelled, with Daizen Maeda finishing from an Abdul Wahab Wattara-style assist credited to Abdul Uatara in the source. Near the end of the first half, Erling Haaland, the Norwegian striker, restored City's lead at 2-1 from close range after a cross from Mateo Kovacic.

In the second half, in the 69th minute, Haaland scored his second goal after a pass from Ilimane Ndiaye to make it 3-1. His effort in the 85th minute was disallowed after a VAR (video assistant referee) check. Referee Farai Hallam then reviewed an incident and awarded a penalty against City, and Cian Fleming converted it in the 90th minute to make it 3-2. Despite 12 minutes of added time, the visitors could not equalise.

Liverpool win away

In another round 7 game, Liverpool won 2-1 at Brentford. The hosts went ahead in the first half through Kane Lewis-Potter. Before the break, Brentford's Yegor Yarmolyuk was sent off after a VAR check, and a penalty previously awarded against Brentford was cancelled in the 41st minute.

In the second half Liverpool used their numerical advantage: Viktor Muñoz equalised in the 62nd minute, and Alexander Isak scored the winner in the 70th minute after a pass from Bradley Barcola. In added time Brentford were reduced to nine men when Vitaliy Yanelt received a second yellow card. It was Liverpool's third win of the season.
