Chelsea falter against Nottingham Forest, while Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur can rely on their top strikers.
Defending champions Manchester City have continued their successful start to the new football season. Coach Pep Guardiola’s team won 5-1 (2-1) against Fulham FC on Saturday (September 2nd, 2023) and thus also the fourth game of this Premier League season.
Argentina’s world champion Julián Álvarez (31st minute), Nathan Aké (45’+5′) and three goals from Erling Haaland (59’/70′, penalty kick/90’+5′) ensured the victory for the league leaders. Tim Ream (33′) managed to equalize for the visitors, where João Palhinha was missing from the squad after his failed move to Bayern Munich.

Because Haaland, in addition to his three goals, also provided the assist to make it 1-0 through Julian Alvarez (31st), he set a record. The Norwegian already has 50 goals involved after just 39 Premier League games: 41 goals, 9 assists. In doing so, he improved on the record set by former England international Andy Cole, who had needed 43 games to do so.
Son towers at Tottenham
Tottenham Hotspur also remain undefeated in the Premier League after Harry Kane said goodbye. The club from London won 5: 2 (2: 1) at promoted FC Burnley. A hat-trick by the outstanding Heung-min Son (16’/63’/66′) and goals by Cristian Romero (45’+2′) and James Maddison (54′) ensured the dominant victory for the “Spurs”. Lyle Foster (4th) gave Burnley an early lead, Josh Brownhill (90th + 4) only managed to catch up.
Chelsea without a win for three games in a row
Meanwhile, Chelsea are not gaining momentum and remained without a win for the third game in a row. The team of new coach Mauricio Pochettino lost 0-1 (0-1) against Nottingham Forest. Anthony Elanga (48th) scored the goal for the guests.
