MANCHESTER — Erling Haaland and Phil Foden scored hat-tricks to fire champions Manchester City to a rampant 6-3 thrashing of local rivals Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday.
City's football was slick, incisive and ruthless in its execution as Haaland claimed his third hat-trick in eight league games and Foden netted his first Premier League treble on a humbling afternoon for United.
It doesn't seem fair to even call it a tackle. A more apt description would be “murder attempt.” Wolves found itself behind early against Manchester City, but center back Nathan Collins almost killed Man City winger Jack Grealish with a ridiculous challenge, as City cruised to a 3-0 win.
A straight red card to Nathan Collins for this foul on Jack Grealish. Wolves are down to 10 men.
That’s it. The competition is over. Cristiano Ronaldo is now the undisputed GOAT, doing something Lionel Messi never could.
Ronaldo scored his first career Europa League goal in Manchester United’s 2-0 win over Sheriff Tiraspol on Thursday, giving him infinity times more goals in the competition than Messi.
And, of course, Ronaldo scored it from the penalty spot.
ErlErling Haaland volvió a maravillar al mundo con su surreal olfato goleador en la victoria por 2-1 del Manchester City sobre su ex equipo, el Borussia Dortmund. Y si bien el noruego marcó solo uno de los goles del club inglés, lo que captura la conversación es la sensacional acrobacia que hizo para conectar el pase a tres dedos de Joao Cancelo.
Last week, an American seldom known by even the most astute USMNT fans made his debut in the UEFA Champions League. Josh Cohen played all 90 minutes between the posts for Israeli side Maccabi Haifa during the club's 2-0 defeat to Benfica.
MANCHESTER, England - Marcus Rashford struck twice as Manchester United made it four wins in a row and ended Arsenal's perfect start to the Premier League season with a 3-1 victory at Old Trafford on Sunday.
A high-tempo, top quality game was decided by two Rashford goals on the break after Bukayo Saka had cancelled out United debutant Antony's opener.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been linked to a move away from Manchester United ever since the end of last season and with the transfer window closing in a matter of days, there’s reason to be believe that this would have been his last game with the club.
At least that’s what Bruno Fernandes made it out to be when he scored the only goal in Manchester United’s 1-0 victory against Southhampton this Saturday.
After watching its midfield get played off the park against Brighton and Brentford in successive weeks, Manchester United acted decisively by luring five-time Champions League winner Casemiro from Real Madrid for a transfer fee that could potentially rise to $82.4 million.
With nine successive Serie A titles followed by two campaigns where Champions League qualification seemed a shallow silver lining, Juventus’ fall from grace has been clear to see in recent years. This summer has seen several big names depart Turin, and the Bianconeri will be hard-pressed to find adequate replacements in order to once again fight for the Scudetto.
