Rashford powers Barcelona to win, De Bruyne denied joy on City return night

Marcus Rashford proved the perfect replacement for Lamine Yamal in Barcelona's 2-1 win at Newcastle in the Champions League and Kevin De Bruyne watched mostly from the sideline as Napoli lost 2-0 at his former club Manchester City. With Yamal missing through injury, Rashford a loan signing from Manchester United got a start on his return to England and scored both of Barcelona's goals at St. James' Park. The second took the breath away, a piledriver from 25 meters that flew in off the crossbar. De Bruyne was also back on English soil, at the club where he spent 10 years before an emotional farewell in May. But his Etihad Stadium return lasted 26 minutes before he was substituted following a red card for teammate Giovanni Di Lorenzo and City wound up a comfortable winner thanks to second-half goals from Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku. Haaland's header put him on 50 goals in 49 Champions League appearances, with the Norway striker reaching that milestone quicker than any other playe

Donnarumma arrives at Man City, Ederson departs for Fenerbahce in swap move

Manchester City signed Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain after selling long-time goalkeeper Ederson Moraes to Fenerbahce on Tuesday, in a switch that seems at odds with the playing approach by the once-dominant Premier League team. Donnarumma one of the world's best shot-stoppers was a key figure in PSG's run to the Champions League title last season but was deemed surplus to requirements at the French club following the signing of Lucas Chevalier from Lille last month. City has moved for the 26-year-old Donnarumma even though his strength isn't passing the ball out from the back typically a key requisite for goalkeepers in teams coached by Pep Guardiola. That's what Ederson excelled at, helping to revolutionize the goalkeeper position in English soccer with his uncanny calmness under pressure with the ball at his feet and ability to start attacks from deep. The Brazil international had seven assists in the Premier League two more than any other goalie thanks to his

Man City slump to 2-1 defeat at Brighton despite early Haaland strike

Brighton came from behind to beat Manchester City 2-1 on Sunday in the Premier League for the second straight season, highlighting the vulnerabilities still present in Pep Guardiola's once-dominant team. Brajan Gruda surged through an open defense, rounded the goalkeeper and slotted into an empty net for an 89th-minute winner for Brighton, which trailed to Erling Haaland's first-half strike his 88th goal in 100 Premier League appearances since moving to England in 2022. City conceded an equalizer in the 67th minute after Matheus Nunes raised his arm in the area to block a shot, with James Milner converting the penalty for Brighton. With City noticeably fading, Brighton created a succession of chances before Gruda converted one. After opening with a 4-0 win at Wolverhampton, City has lost 2-0 at home to Tottenham and now caved at Amex Stadium. West Ham eased the pressure on manager Graham Potter with a 3-0 win at Nottingham Forest, secured by late goals by Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqu

New Signings Reijnders, Cherki shine in Manchester City win over Wolves

Tijjani Reijnders and Erling Haaland starred as Manchester City opened its Premier League campaign by crushing Wolverhampton 4-0. On a great day for City's new signings, Reijnders played a part in the first three goals scoring one himself and Rayan Cherki came off the bench to grab a late fourth. Coach Pep Guardiola made Reijnders a priority signing from AC Milan to compensate for playmaker Kevin De Bruyne's departure. He also snapped up the technically gifted Cherki from Lyon, where he made his debut at the age of 16. Reijnders prised the Wolves defense open with a delightful flick over the defense to allow Rico Lewis the space to pick out Haaland to score his first from a low cross in the 34th minute. Three minutes later, Oscar Bobb played Reijnders in down the left and the Netherlands midfielder arrowed a superb first-time shot into the bottom right corner from just inside the penalty area. City's third in the 61st came when Reijnders expertly took down a high ball, swapped .
