Comments:
League position: 1st . Manchester City had now equalled Chelsea's competition record of winning their opening four games of a season in the Premier League for a sixth time. . This victory by a single goal ended City's all-time competition record of winning 12 consecutive games in the top division by a margin of two or more goals. . Erling Haaland had now become the first player to score nine or more goals in the opening four games of a season in the top division since Manchester United's Jack Rowley in 1951-52 in League Division One (also nine).
