LONDON: Manchester City swept to the top of the Premier League with a 4-0 rout of Southampton as Erling Haaland extended his incredible scoring run to 10 ...

And Ryan Christie completed Bournemouth's comeback in the 71st minute with a close-range finish after Dominic Solanke flicked on Billing's cross. But Bournemouth equalised in the 67th minute through Philip Billing, who volleyed into the roof of the net following a mistake from Wout Faes. Armando Broja grabbed his first goal for Chelsea with a 20-yard drive in the 90th minute. After their spluttering form at the end of Tuchel's reign, Chelsea are up to fourth place, although Brighton would go back above them with a win against Tottenham in Saturday's late game. Christian Pulisic put Chelsea in complete control with a cute finish after exchanging passes with Mount in the 54th minute. Riyad Mahrez put the result beyond doubt in the 49th minute, the Algeria winger meeting Rodri's cross with a clinical volley from a tight angle.

Erling Haaland increased his goal tally, but Joao Cancelo was arguably the top Manchester City performer in a 4-0 win over Southampton.

With Haaland as a team-mate and De Bruyne getting even better, it wouldn't be a surprise if that record is smashed this term. It might not have been another hat-trick but it was another game when he was crucial in the final third. Of course, Erling Haaland was eventually on the scoresheet but by then the game was long over.

City go top of the table, with 23 points after nine matches, cranking up the pressure on early title rivals Arsenal. Read more at straitstimes.com.

"It's a strong performance, especially in the first half. It was a scrappy goal but I'm really proud of the boys," said Kane, who stooped to meet a cross from Son Heung-min and glanced it into the net. City have won all five of their Premier League games at the Etihad Stadium, scoring 24 goals in the process.
