Man City survive an eight-goal thriller to beat Sunderland 5-3
City go three points clear at the top of the Premier League after a chaotic Etihad win, with Sunderland's Brobbey scoring a hat-trick in a losing effort.
Manchester City won a chaotic eight-goal thriller at home to Sunderland, edging a back-and-forth game 5-3 to head into the extended international break three points clear at the top of the Premier League.
Sunderland's Brobbey scored a hat-trick on the losing side, and both BBC Sport and Sky Sports described it as one of the wildest results of the season so far — the kind of game where a promoted side matching City goal for goal for long stretches says as much about Sunderland's attacking threat as City's final margin does about their pedigree.
Why it matters. An eight-goal game between the league leaders and a promoted side is the kind of result that gets replayed all week.
