Premier League Round-Up: Haaland Shines in City’s 2-1 Win, Man Utd Dominate Southampton

Manchester City 2-1 Brentford
This was proved in the Saturday’s Premier league game where Manchester City and Brentford were matched and the former emerged as 2-1 winners through spirited display by star striker Erling Haaland who scored twice. There followed twelve fascinating minutes during which Brentford’s Yoane Wissa managed to shock the Stamford Bridge with his 0. 22 goal. The new formation agitated Brentford in the first minutes and they could easily increase the lead, but Haaland equalized with a right-footed shot in 11th minute. The Norwegian forward extended City’s lead to two in the match less than half an hour to the end of the first half, doing a chipped finish to a beautifully placed pass from the goalkeeper, Ederson. City proved quite stubborn to let this lead go especially when the betting on a mighty three points were at stake.

Southampton 0-3 Manchester United
Manchester United came to St. Mary’s and played arguably their best football of the season to beat Southampton 3-0 and thereby offload pressure on their struggling manager Erik ten Hag. Ardent Manchester United fans will forever cherish the day that three players, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, and Jadon Sancho brought much-needed victory that kept the club from experiencing three consecutive league losses for the first time in the year 2015. The victory will be a breather to United’s fans because the team has some uphill tasks in the English Premier League fixtures.
