Story summary

Enzo Maresca's Manchester City maintained their perfect start in the Premier League with a 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town on October 17, securing seven consecutive wins. Erling Haaland scored twice to extend his goal tally for the season to eight goals across all competitions. However, concerns were raised about injuries to key players after the match:

Erling Haaland: Limped off at full-time and received a bang on the foot but reportedly told Maresca he was okay.
Antoine Semenyo: Limped after coming off the bench in the second half with swelling on his leg.
Nico O'Reilly: Struggled with a back issue during the game.

Maresca is yet to confirm whether Haaland will be rested for their upcoming Champions League match against AEK Athens. The team remains at the top of the Premier League table, six points clear from second place. Manchester City continues to face uncertainty due to an ongoing financial scandal but has not let it affect their performance on the field. Fans showed support by waving inflatable bananas during the game as a nod to past challenges faced by the club.
