Underestimated Newcomers Shock England, Remain Unbeaten. Haaland Reaches Magical Milestone

The newcomer's remarkably solid defense is evident in the statistics. Aston Villa dominated possession with a significant 74:26 advantage, yet Hull City outshot them on target 4:1. Hull currently sits second with seven points, though six-point Arsenal and Chelsea both have a game in hand.

"Amazing. If someone had offered me this at the start of the season, I would have taken it immediately. Especially considering who we played against. It's a great example for us that we need to continue in this vein, because it shows us that we can compete at this level," Jakirović was quoted by British Sky Sports.

Unai Emery marked his 200th match as Birmingham manager. However, his team is struggling to convert chances at the start of the season, with the departures of key players Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins, Youri Tielemans, and Ezri Konsa taking their toll.

"I'm optimistic. The result isn't enough, but considering how we planned it, how we played, and how we created scoring chances, I think we deserved more," commented the 54-year-old Spanish coach.

Manchester City maintains a perfect record after three rounds, thanks to Norwegian goal-machine Erling Haaland. He secured his team's victory over Coventry City in the 26th minute, reaching the milestone of 300 career club goals. He achieved this playing for Molde, Red Bull Salzburg, Borussia Dortmund, and now City.

He reached this milestone in just 368 matches across all top-tier leagues. Argentine virtuoso Lionel Messi achieved the same feat only three games sooner.
