Comments:

League position: 1st . This was the third time that Manchester City had scored three or more goals in the opening 15 minutes of a game in the Premier League; also versus Burnley on 3 April 2010 and Watford on 21 September 2019. . City had now won 18 and drawn one of their last 19 games in the Premier League since April 2021 against newly-promoted teams. . Erling Haaland had now scored against all 23 teams that he had faced in the Premier League. He has also now scored 16 goals in ten appearances in August in the Premier League. . Manchester City were awarded a penalty in the ninth minute following a VAR review for a foul.

Comments:

League position: 19th . This was Ipswich Town's first away game in the Premier League since a 5-0 loss at Liverpool on final day of 2001-02 season. Manchester City finished that season as champions of League Division 1 (now League Championship) under manager Kevin Keegan. . The newly-promoted Town had now lost their opening two games of a league season for the first time since 2006-07 in the League Championship. . Erling Haaland's hat-trick was the first they had conceded in a league game since by Orlando Sa of Reading in the League Championship on 11 September 2015; longer than any other current Premier League team.
