“So what Erling Haaland scored 62 goals in 67 Bundesliga games? Wait until he’s in the Premier League!” is what the doubters said. They didn’t believe his goal scoring tally would continue in the mighty EPL. Oh, how wrong they were.
Manchester City defeated Nottingham Forest 6-0 on Wednesday. Haaland scored a perfect hat trick in the first half, his second hat trick in the City’s last two games.
Aston Villa didn’t have a productive trip to the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday evening. Steven Gerrard’s club was outplayed in every measurable way as Arsenal remained perfect on the season with a 2-1 victory. But there was exactly one good moment for the visitors: a Douglas Luiz olimpico he foreshadowed on his Instagram page.
Brazilians Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli netted for the Gunners, who earned their fifth win from five games to remain atop the Premier League table. But it was another Brazilian who had the highlight of the day in North London.

Bournemouth’s sacking of Scott Parker has many scratching their heads, and for good reason. Parker helped his side earn promotion back up to the Premier League, with very little investment and without the glitz and glamor of many other sides in England’s top flight. Often this tremendous feat would be rewarded with some considerable amount of faith, and yet Parker is out of a job just four games into the Cherries’ return to the first division.
We are less than a month into the Premier League season but we already have our first managerial firing, as Bournemouth manager Scott Parker received his pink slip on Tuesday after just four league matches.
The season started promisingly for the team with an opening day win against Aston Villa, then went downhill with three massive defeats against Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool (by a combined score of 16-0). Even with the poor results against the trio of title contenders, the Cherries are in 17th place, one point above the relegation zone.
