How Did Manchester City Beat Manchester United Despite a Red Card?
Manchester City won 1-0 at Old Trafford despite playing more than an hour with ten men. Phil Foden was sent off in the 23rd minute for striking his foot out at Bruno Fernandes. That left City to defend a one-goal cushion for the rest of the afternoon.
Erling Haaland settled it with a first-time finish from a Josko Gvardiol cross. The goal was flagged offside at first, then given after a VAR review. It was Haaland’s ninth goal in this specific fixture, more than any other player has managed against Manchester United in Premier League history.
City have now won all four of their opening league games this season, collecting 12 points. New head coach Enzo Maresca praised his players’ effort and togetherness after the match. Gianluigi Donnarumma also made a crucial late save to deny Bryan Mbeumo an equaliser.
Why Is Manchester United’s Slow Start Such a Concern?
The Manchester United team sits level on points with where they stood after four games last season, under previous manager Ruben Amorim. Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo both struck the woodwork during the match, and Mbeumo’s late chance nearly rescued a point. That fourth match last season also ended in defeat, a 3-0 loss away at Manchester City. The parallel between the two campaigns runs deeper than the points total alone.
Michael Carrick questioned the officiating after the game, calling the decision to let Haaland’s goal stand a difficult one to accept. The finish will not change how the season unfolds, in Carrick’s own words, and United will look to bounce back in their next fixture.
How Did Brighton Become the League’s Top Goalscorers?
Brighton thrashed ten-man Coventry City 5-0 to become the Premier League’s leading scorers with 13 goals this season. Nineteen-year-old striker Charalampos Kostoulas got on the scoresheet, alongside Malick Yalcouye and Yasin Ayari.
Captain Lewis Dunk added the pick of the goals, a 30-yard strike. It was his first from open play in the competition, despite being his 18th goal overall. Veteran midfielder Pascal Gross set up two of the goals and converted a penalty of his own.
What Is Going Wrong for Coventry City?
Coventry remain without a point or a goal after four matches. A red card for striker Taiwo Awoniyi has added a three-match ban to their problems. Only Crystal Palace, back in the 2017/18 season, have lost their first four league games without scoring.
There are some signs to build on. Coventry produced an expected goals figure of 1.39 against Brighton, suggesting their finishing needs to catch up with their overall play in front of goal.
Where Do Things Stand at the Top of the Premier League Table After Week 4?
Only two clubs still have a perfect record after four rounds of the season. These Premier League Week 4 results and table figures put both sides level at the summit.
| Team | Played | Won | Points |
| Arsenal | 4 | 4 | 12 |
| Manchester City | 4 | 4 | 12 |
Arsenal made it four wins from four with a victory at Sunderland. That result matches Manchester City’s tally at the top of the Premier League table after week 4. Both sides have collected 12 points, and the pair look set to pull away from the rest of the division if this pace continues.

What Other Results Shaped Premier League Week 4?
Nottingham Forest won 2-1 at Aston Villa in a tight Midlands derby, while Bournemouth and Brentford shared the points in a 2-2 draw. That result kept Brentford unbeaten so far this season. Chelsea also drew 2-2 at home to Hull City, in a result that continued Hull’s tricky pattern of shipping goals against direct attacking sides.
Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town shared the round’s highest goal tally alongside Coventry’s clash with Brighton, with both games producing five goals in total. Ipswich came out on top in theirs, winning 3-2, a result that gives their survival hopes a real lift. Liverpool and Tottenham both played out goalless draws at home, against Fulham and Everton respectively, in two of the quieter afternoons of the round.
None of these results will grab the headlines the way the Manchester derby or Brighton’s rout did. Between them, though, they moved seven clubs at once and reshaped the shape of the table heading into the next international break.
What’s Still to Come in Premier League Week 4?
Leeds United host Newcastle United on Monday night to complete the round. Newcastle arrive unbeaten through their first three matches of the campaign, and a positive result at Elland Road would extend that run into week four. That result will decide the final Premier League Week 4 scores and standings before attention turns to the next set of fixtures.
