Haaland scores hat-trick as a natural reason
In a slow-moving game that Man City were bored with, they still showed their superiority over weak opponent Fulham. Without pressing too hard or deploying a practice pace, The Citizens still scored 5 goals against their opponents. Haaland has three goals, making him the fastest player to reach 50 goals in the Premier League in just 39 games.
Without Kevin De Bruyne backing, Haaland has been linked with the underdogs on several occasions, despite Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez trying to support and put pressure. However, with few touches, the Norwegian striker still knows how to concretize. With a smart drop shot, a penalty and a classy one-touch shot, Haaland easily brought home a hat-trick. This is a beautiful week for the Man City star as at the beginning of the week, he received the "Best Player of the Premier League 2022-2023" award voted by PFA, in the middle of the week was the title "Best Player in Europe 2022-2023" voted by UEFA, and at the weekend, he scored 3 goals against the opponent at the Etihad Stadium.
Man City still started slowly as usual but slow does not mean they have difficulties. Everything is still on ice for Pep Guardiola's army with Erling Haaland.
Son Hueng-min deserves Tottenham's captaincy
It was thought to be a difficult season after the departure of captain Harry Kane, Tottenham played unexpectedly with 3 wins and 1 draw after 4 matches. They are the team that is right behind defending champions Man City.
Since the beginning of the season, along with James Maddison, Son Heung-min has been Spurs' top star. At the age of over 31, the Korean striker's running steps are no longer too fast, but in his new position, the captain of the "Rooster" did very well. He became a target, playing the role of a foundation for his teammates to attack and finish. Son also gradually got into the box to play as a center forward.
However, when Tottenham struggled (led by Burnley), Son's role as a leader was most clearly shown. He was the one who quickly equalized to lift the spirits of his teammates, thereby opening up a destructive victory of 5-2 away. At Turf Moor, the small number of away fans sang the name of their new captain.
When it was difficult, now without Kane, Son would be viewed by everyone with a new responsibility that was very heavy but also full of honor.
Ferguson is the representative image of Brighton
Brighton under Roberto De Zerbi is a team that can knock down any big name. Newcastle wants to know the truth, ask Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham or Liverpool to find the answer.
Discouraged, not satisfied and likes to play in his own style, that is Brighton's personality. It was shown through Ferguson's goal-scoring style, boldness and confidence in his own abilities. Newcastle played a not-so-bad game but certainly not good enough to stop Ferguson on a sublime day.
De Zerbi was right after the team sold Moise Caicedo. He shared that Brighton's strength does not lie in any individual. This seems to be a catchph term for Caicedo's regret for his mischief, but the Italian tactician has proven it to be true. After Kaoru Mitoma and Evan Ferguson, will Brighton continue to introduce any other excellent name?
