Manchester City has bounced back from their midweek setback in Europe to maintain their perfect Premier League start with an Erling Haaland double propelling them to a 3-2 home win over battling Ipswich Town.

Paris St Germain inflicted a first meaningful defeat on Enzo Maresca's side in the Champions League on Wednesday but City shrugged off a gallant Ipswich side to make it seven wins from seven to cement their place at the top of the table, despite dark clouds remaining with City's fate still unknown after they appealed a ruling that the club breached 114 Premier League financial rules.

But on the pitch it is very much business as usual, especially for Norwegian goal machine Haaland.

Phil Foden gave City a short-lived lead cancelled out by Daizen Maeda, but Haaland restored the home side's advantage before halftime with a header from Mateo Kovacic's cross.

Haaland then gave his side some breathing space with his second in the 69th minute, powering past Ipswich's Abdoul Ouattara before a low finish into the corner.

He was denied a hat-trick by an offside decision and Ipswich got a lifeline when Zian Flemming tucked away a penalty in stoppage time but City bagged the points.

The defiant mood was soured somewhat though as Haaland went off with an apparent injury late on, as did Mateo Kovacic, Matheus Nunes and Nico O'Reilly, while Antoine Semenyo was also limping badly at the final whistle.

"I don't know [Haaland's injury]," Maresca said. "I asked him. He said that he was okay. So hopefully, it's nothing serious."

Chelsea beat Everton 2-0 in earlier action thanks to Pedro Neto's brace, although the London club's win was overshadowed by an injury to goalkeeper Emi Martinez.

Chelsea have had a knack of scoring early this season but were kept at bay by hosts Everton in a feisty and physical first half that produced five yellow cards.

However, Xabi Alonso's visitors needed just 43 seconds after the restart to go 1-0 up when Jorrel Hato cut the ball back from the byline to find Neto, who swept home.

Keeper Martinez's clash of heads with Jarrad Branthwaite resulted in the Argentine being strapped to a stretcher and taken off, leading to 11 minutes of stoppage time.

Chelsea doubled their lead in the 90th minute when Neto pounced on a loose ball after Jordan Henderson's free kick was blocked by the wall, finding the bottom corner with a composed finish as Everton suffered their first defeat of the season.

At Brentford, Liverpool came from a goal down to win 2-1, although they were helped by the previously unbeaten hosts being reduced to 10 men shortly before halftime when Yehor Yarmolyuk was shown a straight red card for a head butt.

Liverpool deservedly fell behind at Brentford when Keane Lewis-Potter put Brentford in front.

Brentford were good value for their lead with a Keane Lewis-Potter goal, but Yarmolyuk's rush of blood to the head when he clashed with Jeremy Jacquet at a Liverpool corner changed the game.

After referee John Brooks was invited to check a VAR monitor, he brandished the red card at Ukrainian Yarmolyuk.

Liverpool huffed and puffed after the break but Victor Munoz finally levelled in the 62nd minute when he cut in to beat keeper Caoimhin Kelleher with a left-foot finish.

Alexander Isak won it for Andoni Iraola's side eight minutes later with a clinical strike from Bradley Barcola's assist.

Brentford ended with nine men after Vitaly Janelt got a second yellow card for a foul on substitute Rio Ngumoha.

In other games, Alex Iwobi's 33rd-minute strike for Fulham was enough to earn their new manager Alvaro Arbeloa a long-overdue league win, while a Johan Manzambi early goal secured Aston Villa's 1-0 victory at Newcastle, their second of the season.
