Newcastle, who started the season very well (2:2 with Liverpool, 2:0 victory over Tottenham), faced an expectedly difficult test in the match against Bournemouth: the "Cherries" had not lost to the "Magpies" in eight consecutive head-to-head meetings before this, winning half of those games. This time too, the visitors made the most of their opportunities. Tavernier, who opened the score, was the first to reach the ball which changed direction due to a deflection after a long-range shot, and then his cross from the flank led to Thiaw's own goal. Only after the second goal did the hosts come to their senses, and Barnes returned his team to the game by accurately targeting the far "top corner". At the end of the match, it was after his pass that Jacob Ramsey equalized the score. Newcastle continues its unbeaten run.

Coventry, under Frank Lampard, started their return to the Premier League with two consecutive defeats, and it was not possible to stop this negative run at the Etihad either. At the same time, it cannot be said that this team, which came up from the Championship, was left completely helpless. First, Khusanov's pass to the goalkeeper almost turned into a goal, with Donnarumma managing to reach the ball at the last moment before it fully crossed the goal line. In the next minute, Awoniyi went one-on-one with the goalkeeper but could not make an accurate shot. Only past the middle of the half, Haaland headed the ball into the opponent's goal after Semenyo crossed it into the goalkeeper's area from the right flank.
