Man City v Sunderland

Cementing their place as Premier League leaders, Manchester City beat Sunderland 5-3 at the Etihad, following a frenetic contest that barely paused for breath from first whistle to last. The hosts twice lost the lead before half-time, then scored twice more, only for their resilient visitors to bite back again; a late goal by Haaland - who has now scored against all 25 Premier League teams he has faced - finally secured maximum points. It all started when Enzo Fernandez opened proceedings with a clever free-kick, before Brobbey struck back within three minutes. Cherki restored City's lead on the half-hour mark, but that didn't last long, as Brobbey finished again from close range. With half-time approaching, Semenyo then fired an unstoppable strike into the bottom corner, putting City 3-2 up by the break. His second goal gave them some breathing space just shy of the hour mark, but that man Brobbey responded by completing his hat-trick and setting up a grandstand finale. Both sides also hit the woodwork, and both goalkeepers were tested, as City ended with an xG of 2.72 and Sunderland accrued an incredible 4.25 from 17 shots. The Black Cats must still leave Manchester empty-handed, and they will have three weeks to wait until in-form Brighton arrive at the Stadium of Light. Meanwhile, Man City's perfect Premier League record under Maresca continues; after the international break, they'll visit Anfield for a showdown with Liverpool. That's all from our live coverage of a chaotic clash at the Etihad, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!

FULL-TIME: MANCHESTER CITY 5-3 SUNDERLAND

Though Mukiele cuts an excellent cross back from the right byline, Fofana can only steer his header straight at Donnarumma. It's a simple stop for City's goalkeeper, who has been beaten three times but will still end up on the winning side.

With maximum points essentially safe, Man City are set to lead the Premier League by three from Arsenal heading into the international break. That represents a very impressive start to the Maresca era.

As there will be at least five more minutes added for stoppages, there's still time for a ninth goal in this crazy game.

OFF THE POST! After Donnarumma dives down to make a sharp stop from Mukiele's fierce cross-shot, the ball breaks to Ballard. His 10-yard shot is heavily deflected, and it spins behind for a corner via the left-hand post!
