Sunday’s Premier League results
- Manchester United 0–1 Manchester City: Phil Foden was sent off in the first half, and Haaland scored the disputed winner after the break. 1
- Coventry City 0–5 Brighton & Hove Albion: Brighton were ruthless, but goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen’s player-of-the-match display showed that Coventry created danger before the score ran away. Coventry have now opened with four Premier League defeats without scoring. 3

The off-pitch story
Lucas Bergvall has signed a new Tottenham contract after previously asking to leave. Richarlison’s situation remains unresolved after proposed moves to Vasco da Gama and Everton fell through, leaving a useful distinction between a completed contract story and an open dispute. 5
The episode’s thread is control under pressure: City kept playing after a red card, Coventry lost the shape of the match after small turning points, and Tottenham now have one future they can plan around while another still needs resolving.
