Manchester City Demonstrates Premier League Challenge with Easy Win Over Ipswich at Etihad.

Erling Haaland netted a hat-trick as Manchester City proved the challenges of the Premier League with an easy win over Ipswich at the Etihad Stadium.

Ipswich, back in the top flight after 22 years, had a dream start at the defending champions when Sammie Szmodics scored on his full debut, sneaking a shot past Ederson after seven minutes.

However, Manchester City responded quickly with three goals in just four minutes. 

Erling Haaland equalized with a penalty awarded after a VAR review overturned the referee's initial call on a dive by Savinho.
