In the seventh round of the Premier League, Manchester City extended their winning streak to seven matches following a 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town. Erling Haaland scored twice, reaching his 100th Premier League goal in 139 matches, while Phil Foden also scored.

Liverpool secured a 2-1 comeback win against Brentford, featuring a winning goal by Alexander Isak after Brentford’s Jehorom Jarmoljuk received a red card. Liverpool subsequently moved into fourth place after a 2-0 home victory against Brighton & Hove Albion. The match was decided in the first half by a Pascal Gross own goal following a Florian Wirtz strike and an Alexander Isak goal assisted by Bradley Barcola. While the win marked Liverpool’s first Premier League home victory since April, they suffered the loss of Wirtz to a right-ankle injury in the 65th minute.

In contrast, Manchester United suffered a 0-3 home defeat against Bournemouth at Old Trafford, with goals from Rayan, Marcus Tavernier, and Evanilson. The loss dropped Manchester United to 16th place, just one point above the relegation zone, and extended their winless streak to eight matches across all competitions. The result has intensified pressure on manager Michael Carrick, with reports suggesting club leadership may hold emergency meetings regarding his future, amid internal tension regarding his tactical decisions and the exclusion of captain Bruno Fernandes from the lineup.
