Chelsea suffers shocking defeat, Man City regains top spot in Premier League

After letting West Ham temporarily take the top spot, Man City regained the number 1 position thanks to a big win against Fulham.

In the first half, Man City had a lot of difficulties against Fulham. Even when Alvarez opened the score in the 31st minute, just 2 minutes later, Man City was punctured. It was not until the end of the first half that defender Ake helped Man City take a 2-1 lead.

In the second 45 minutes, the game completely changed when Erling Haaland's brilliance helped Man City score 3 more goals. In the 59th minute, after Alvarez's pass, Haaland escaped to face goalkeeper Leno and launched an accurate shot to increase the score to 3-1 for Man City.

In the 67th minute, Alvarez brought Man City a penalty and Haaland did not miss the opportunity to score the second goal. In the 5th minute of injury time, Haaland scored his third goal from a cross by Sergio Gomez.

Tottenham also followed Man City with a 5-2 win at Burnley to take second place with 10 points. After 4 rounds, Tottenham scored 11 goals and that shows that the departure of Harry Kane does not affect the attack of the Roosters.

Meanwhile, Chelsea continued to disappoint when they lost to Nottingham Forest. Despite having more possession (73%) and more than 20 shots, Chelsea could not score a goal. On the contrary, the away team only had 1/3 of the shots but scored in the beginning of the second half. After this match, Chelsea fell back to the bottom half of the rankings with only 4 points after 4 rounds.

After a series of 4 consecutive wins in all competitions, Al Nassr and Ronaldo are confident that they will continue to get 3 points in round 5 of the Saudi Arabian National Championship when they only have to visit the newly promoted opponent - Al Hazem.

Al Nassr quickly took the initiative, creating many opportunities but it was not until the 33rd minute that they opened the scoring. Ronaldo dribbled through the home team's defenders and passed to Abdulrahman Ghareeb who gently shot into the Al Hazem net.

Before the end of the first half, Al Nassr doubled the lead when Abdullah Al Khaibari finished accurately in the penalty area without being marked by anyone.

In the beginning of the second half, the home team rose strongly and scored a goal to reduce the score in the 47th minute. However, that was also the biggest mark that the home team had in this match because the remaining time was no different from a "show" of Ronaldo and his teammates.

In the 57th minute, Ronaldo and Brozovic had a perfect combination before CR7 assisted Otavio to score in a situation where he had to score. In the 68th minute, Ronaldo finally enjoyed the joy of scoring with a shot that topped the home team's net.

Ronaldo and his teammates' perfect match was sealed in the 78th minute. The Portuguese superstar continued to make his mark with a pass-and-go with Abdulrahman Ghareeb before the ball reached Mane's feet for the star to easily score.

The 5-1 victory over newly promoted opponents - Al Hazem helped Al Nassr gain 9 points after 3 matches, temporarily rising to 6th place on the rankings, only 4 points less than the leading team Al Hilal. For Ronaldo personally, the goal scored in this match helped him reach the milestone of 850 goals in official tournaments in his career.

Barca registers 2 famous rookies for the match with Osasuna

Coach Xavi has just announced the list of Barca players registered for the away match against Osasuna on September 4. Although they just arrived at Barca on the last day of the summer transfer window, the two famous rookies Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo are also ready to play in the upcoming match.

The pair have in common that they have the same name, are both members of the Portuguese national team and play for Barca on loan, without a buyout clause. At Barca, while striker Felix (from Atletico Madrid) wears the number 14 shirt, right-back Cancelo (from Man City) is given the number 2 shirt.

Also a new player transferred to Barca this summer, but center back Inigo Martinez had to wait until now to be registered to play like Felix and Cancelo. The reason is because Barca has not met some financial conditions set by La Liga's Organizing Committee so they have to register players "drop by drop".
