Erling Haaland was kept scoreless in a Premier League game for the first time this season as Manchester City was held 1-1 by Newcastle on Saturday to drop points for the second straight weekend. It was City’s first league match since influential midfielder Rodri was ruled out for the season with an ACL injury and the champions were far from at their fluid best,

Chelsea knew it was getting a talented player by signing Cole Palmer from Manchester City last year. Palmer created some history on Saturday when he became the first player to score four goals in the first half of an English Premier League match.

Erling Haaland will be assessed by Manchester City’s medical staff after the striker sustained a cut on his ankle during Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Newcastle. The champions looked on course for another victory when Josko Gvardiol broke the deadlock 10 minutes before half time with a smartly taken goal.
