In a Premier League clash, leaders Manchester City faced Nottingham Forest and began the match with flair, scoring two early goals in the first 15 minutes. Phil Foden found the net with a fine first-time finish, assisted by Kyle Walker, and then Erling Haaland headed home from a Matheus Nunes cross. However, the game took a dramatic turn just 27 seconds into the second half when Rodri was shown a straight red card for violent conduct, putting his hands around Morgan Gibbs-White’s throat. VAR upheld the referee’s decision. Despite Forest’s resurgence in the second half, City managed to protect their lead, holding out for a 2-0 victory and maintaining their perfect start to the Premier League season.
In another Premier League clash, Luton secured their first-ever Premier League point with a 1-1 draw against 10-man Wolves. Striker Carlton Morris scored the equaliser from the penalty spot after Joao Gomes handled the ball. Luton had a man advantage for most of the game after Jean-Ricner Bellegarde was sent off for Wolves. Despite their dominance, Luton couldn’t convert their chances into a win, and the match ended in a draw.
Meanwhile, Harry Kane made history in the Bundesliga as he scored a sensational hat-trick for Bayern Munich in their 7-0 victory over Bochum. Kane opened the scoring just 13 minutes into the game and added a penalty in the second half. He completed his hat-trick with a tap-in from a Leroy Sane cross. Kane’s remarkable feat means he now has more goals in his first five league matches for Bayern than any other player in the club’s history. Kane expressed his satisfaction, saying, “I’m happy to play my part, and I hope there will be many more to come.” He also planned to celebrate the win with his first visit to Munich’s Oktoberfest beer festival.
