Story summary

Enzo Maresca's Manchester City maintained their perfect start in the Premier League on October 17, defeating newly promoted Ipswich Town 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium. Despite concerns over Erling Haaland's workload and fitness, he scored twice to help his team secure a victory that keeps them six points clear of second-place Arsenal. Haaland, who has been playing nearly every match this season due to an injury scare during Norway's Nations League games, showed no signs of fatigue in the win against Ipswich but was seen limping off at the end, raising fears about another injury. The Norwegian striker had previously broken two Champions League records in a recent match against Paris Saint-Germain. Antoine Semenyo also came off with an apparent knee injury late in the game, adding to City's injury concerns as they continue their busy schedule.
