Manchester City maintained their perfect Premier League start by beating Ipswich 3–2 at Etihad Stadium on October 17. Phil Foden scored once and Erling Haaland twice as City reached 21 points from seven matches, according to BongdaPlus.
The result followed a 4–2 Champions League defeat by PSG. City's seven-match winning sequence therefore applies to the domestic league rather than every competition.
Quick response to the opener
Haaland led the attack with Doku, Foden and Ndiaye operating behind him. City created early pressure before taking the lead in the nineteenth minute.
Doku worked the ball from the left for Foden to finish first time. Ipswich responded approximately two minutes later through Maeda.
City restored their advantage in the 34th minute when Haaland's movement created room for a header. The hosts took a 2–1 lead into the interval.
Haaland supplies the cushion
City continued controlling the second half, and Haaland scored again after 69 minutes. A further home effort entered the net in the 85th minute but was ruled out for offside.
Flemming converted a penalty in the ninetieth minute to reduce Ipswich's deficit. The visitors could not find an equaliser, leaving City with another three points despite the narrow final margin.
The reported schedule next takes City into a home Champions League meeting with AEK Athens on October 21, followed by an away league match at Aston Villa on October 24. Both remain upcoming fixtures after Haaland's double preserved the team's unblemished league record.
