Man City

Erling Haaland scored again for Man City, who had an easy afternoon after Wolves went down to 10 men after 33 minutes.

Haaland now has 14 goals in 10 matches in all competitions (11 in the Premier League) and has only failed to hit the net in two matches this season for City. Man City: Amid the international break, Man City will have time to prepare for the derby, with Manchester United visiting the blue half of the city on Oct. - City are now unbeaten in their last 22 away league matches with a record of 16-6-0 (W-D-L). In between the first two goals we were there, but they scored in a transition. [Nathan Collins](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/279780/Nathan-Collins) jumped for a loose ball and caught Grealish in the midriff with his studs, receiving a straight red card. We struggled a lot after half-time until Phil's [Foden] goal so a lot of credit to Wolves." However, if your ability to pick up points is based on keeping it tight at the back then you need to make sure you don't concede inside a minute and have one of your centre-backs sent off before half-time. Bruno Lage did a good job at Molineux last season but he needs to get his team scoring soon if he's to avoid being dragged into the Premier League's sack race. A deserved red card followed, and with it, any chance of Wolves' salvaging something from the game disappeared. And, what do you know, three days after lasting 58 minutes against Dortmund, Grealish was happy again -- taking just 55 seconds to score his first goal of the season to put City 1-0 up. The 22-year-old will probably feel he could have had more, especially after Collins was sent off for an ugly-looking challenge on Grealish, but in the second half Pep Guardiola's side seemed content with knocking the ball around and running down the clock. Wolves were 2-0 down and a man down after just 33 minutes and at that point the home supporters inside Molineux were fearing the worst.

After the Champions League to come here at 12:30 with the quality they have, it was an incredible victory," Guardiola said. "Jack played really good. Haaland doubled City's lead in the 16th minute with his first goal from outside the area for his new club. Haaland was named Premier League Player of the Month for August after his blistering start to the season and he is already making his case for the September award. He has netted in seven successive games for City and is the first player to score in their first four Premier League away appearances. Guardiola said this week that the "exceptional" Haaland was the "perfect" person to manage because his personality ensured he always remains hungry to improve.

A dig into the numbers shows we really shouldn't be surprised the combination of Manchester City and Erling Haaland has resulted in an avalanche of goals.

This means, based on the quality of chances being created, they should have scored at least a couple of goals a game. Based on the chances created for him last season he had an xG of 15, but the Norwegian scored 22 goals. Gone are the days when a new signing from abroad carries any mystique in the Premier League. It showed a Manchester United supporter peering room a living room door and shouting incredulously; “f**king Haaland has scored a hat-trick in 38 minutes. He scored a hat-trick last game, we’re four games into the season and do you know how many goals he’s scored? However, with chance converter supreme Haaland now in City’s ranks, there was less of a risk of the Citizens wasting the chances it created. Such numbers would be a daunting prospect whatever team Haaland was joining, but with Manchester City, he has picked the side which has consistently been creating the most chances in the division. Do you know how many games there are? Using the expected goals (xG) metric, which breaks down a player’s chances by the average likeliness to score, Haaland also demonstrated an ability to convert opportunities with a high degree of difficulty. However, a dig into the numbers shows we really shouldn’t be surprised the combination of Manchester City and Erling Haaland has resulted in an avalanche of goals. [Squawka](https://www.squawka.com/en/erling-haaland-man-city-golden-boot-transfer/) explained: “Erling Haaland is the most clinical player in European football. To the amusement of much of the internet the fan gets more and more outraged, “four games” he repeats with rising exasperation, “he’s scored half the amount you need to be classed as a great striker already.

Which player is finally settling in at Manchester City? And who is playing with an infectious arrogance that is spreading like wildfire?

Some of whom congregated outside the gates of Balmoral, in the streets of Edinburgh and London all the way to Buckingham Palace, just to catch a glimpse of the cortege. His goal against Wolves at the weekend was a mishit, and much was made of his finish against Borussia Dortmund in midweek; some even dared to compare it to Johan Cruyff's goal against Brazil in 1974. What a way to regain your confidence, and at the same stick two fingers up to the manager. Much was made in some quarters about the rights and wrongs of postponing the weekend's fixtures in honour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's death. Haaland's late winner against his old club in the Champions League, while vital in Manchester City's quest to lift the elusive European title, was a scruffy lunge in a desperate attempt to make contact with the ball. His movement around the pitch is fantastic and he plays the game with an infectious arrogance that is spreading through the Arsenal team like wildfire, and the reason why they currently sit on top of the Premier League. Silva has put together a team who are not afraid to take the game to the opposition and take risks, and that's precisely what they did against Forest. I would like to know why Brentford didn't look up for this game, but the Gunners were so good I rather suspect that even if they had it wouldn't have changed anything - Arsenal were that good. It wasn't just his willingness to get in the six-yard box where it hurts that was impressive, but his link-up play with Kevin de Bruyne and Erling Haaland was telling - a further indication he's no longer intimidated by his surroundings and finally starting to settle in and produce his best work. However, both Brentford and Toney had to contend with William Saliba, who looks very dangerous in the opposition penalty area and as solid as a rock in his own. The owner has not helped by bringing players to the club in August when they should have been there in July. As for scoring top-class goals against top-class opposition, this is proof of the confidence the player has acquired by remaining at City.

In the end, despite having trained with Santos' first team all week, 16-year-old Endrick did not make an appearance while Gabriel remained on the bench for Palmeiras. [West Ham United](/soccer/team?id=371) were rumoured to be interested in the 23-year-old, but he has opted to stay in Germany rather than move to the Premier League.

The 29-year-old joined from Chelsea for a season for a £7 million fee, and another year’s loan would cost £9m. Paper Round’s view: Jorginho is not quite a like-for-like replacement for Busquets but he is about as close as Barcelona could find in terms of quality. The 27-year-old Inter Milan central defender is out of contract at the end of the season and he is targeted by several big European teams.

The return of the Women's Super League sees shock results, record crowds and impressive debut goals, writes Emma Sanders.

"A spine that has been taken apart with players leaving left, right and centre." And if anyone wondered if Liverpool were equipped to compete with the best teams in the WSL on their return they were given a clear indication of the Merseyside club's pedigree. The victory over Chelsea marked the hosts' return to the top flight after a two-year absence but they played with the similar belief and confidence which they demonstrated so regularly in the Championship. It was a demonstration of Villa's intent to ruffle the feathers of those teams at the top of the table in an effort to improve on their ninth-place finish last season. Chelsea also lost to Arsenal on the opening day of last season but looked surprisingly short of creativity and quality in the final third against Liverpool on Sunday. The pressure on City - and Taylor - to deliver increases as scrutiny of the decision to allow several high-profile players to leave in the transfer window grows.

Phillips has had issues with his shoulder since picking up an injury during Leeds’s final game of the 2020-21 season. And now it is understood he could need surgery on his shoulder in order to reach full fitness again. The Manchester City midfielder missed his side’s win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday afternoon.
