Anan Khalaily Starts in Crystal Palace Draw; Man City Wins Thriller

Israeli forward Anan Khalaily played 90 minutes for Crystal Palace in their 0-0 draw against Leeds United on September 20, 2026.

Leeds United, meanwhile, continued their strong start to the season and will face Arsenal after the upcoming international break.

In a high-scoring match, Manchester City secured a dramatic 5-3 victory over Sunderland at the Etihad Stadium. Despite a hat-trick from Sunderland's Bryan Brobbey, who scored in the 12th, 33rd, and 59th minutes, City maintained their perfect record. City's goals came from an early strike by Enzo Fernández, a second from Raheem Sterling, a brace from Antoine Semenyo in the 43rd and 57th minutes, and a late sealer from Erling Haaland in the 81st minute. This win marks Manchester City's fifth consecutive victory to start the season, making them the only team in England with a perfect record.

Liverpool secured a narrow 1-0 away win against Bournemouth. Alexander Isak scored the decisive goal in the 57th minute, marking his fourth league goal of the season. Despite several attempts by Bournemouth to equalize, Liverpool's goalkeeper Alisson Becker made key saves to preserve the clean sheet. Liverpool will face Manchester City in a highly anticipated match after the break.
