Erling Haaland scored twice after Phil Foden's opener was cancelled out by Daizen Maeda to send Enzo Maresca's side six points clear at the top of the table. This was City's first home game in the competition since being found guilty of breaking its financial rules. After celebrating victory over Liverpool at a hostile Anfield in their first match since the verdict against the club was announced, the home fans showed their support for the club as they booed the Premier League anthem prior to kick-off and waved inflatable bananas in a recently revived tradition from the 1980s. On the pitch, Maresca's players continued to block out the uncertainty surrounding the club's future admirably. Haaland's double ensured City joined Chelsea (2005-06) and Liverpool (2019-20) as only the third club in Premier League history to win their first seven games of a season. Maresca, meanwhile, is the first manager to win his first seven games in charge of a club in the competition. Ipswich temporarily stunned a raucous Etihad Stadium with a quick response to Foden's opener, as Maeda slotted in 155 seconds later after getting the better of Marc Guehi. But Haaland restored the hosts' advantage before half-time and later put City in control with a composed finish after being played through by Iliman Ndiaye. The Norwegian then believed he had his hat-trick after firing in acrobatically but the goal was disallowed for a marginal offside against Enzo Fernandez in the build-up. Zian Flemming gave Ipswich late hope by slamming in a 90th-minute penalty following a foul by Guehi on Abdul Fatawu, but City were able to see out the 12 minutes of added time.

Argentina World Cup winner Martinez and Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite clashed heads as they went for the ball in the 75th minute. Branthwaite was able to continue after treatment, but the game was held up for 10 minutes as Martinez received medical care. The 34-year-old, who was able to move his arms as he was carried off, was replaced by Mike Penders. The game was settled by two goals from wing-back Pedro Neto, who scored at both ends of the second half. He netted his first from Jorrel Hato's deflected cutback, then added a late second with a cool rolled finish into the bottom corner after Jordan Henderson's free-kick hit the wall. The result gave Chelsea a first Premier League clean sheet in nine months and was Everton's first league defeat this season. Chelsea go fourth, with Everton sitting sixth, before the rest of the weekend's games.

Former Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran's double and Alexander Bah's volley put Marco Silva's side 3-0 up at half-time as a ramshackle Celtic were picked apart time and time again. The Scottish champions were fortunate not to be further behind, but improved after the break and pulled one back through Camilo Duran's brave header. Martin O'Neill's outfit pushed for a second goal that would have given them hope, but Duran struck a post with a left-footed drive and Callum Osmand had a shot well saved by home goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin. However, in the closing stages, Benfica added further gloss to the scoreline as substitute Vangelis Pavlidis scuffed a shot past the flat-footed Viljami Sinisalo. Benfica are third in the standings with two wins from two, while Celtic are 34th of 36 teams after two losses.

The hosts only needed eight minutes to open the scoring, when Corentin Tolisso reacted quickest to bury the loose ball after Palace failed to cope with a corner from the right. In a quiet first half, Lyon doubled their lead in injury time as Ernest Nuamah finished well from Keito Nakamura's low cross. Palace had come from behind to gain Premier League wins over Fulham and Nottingham Forest this season and were much improved after the break, finding a way back into the match in the 50th minute. The visitors worked a short corner, with Adam Wharton's fine first-time pass instantly met by Yeremy Pino before he shot into the roof of the net to make it 2-1. Palace had chances to make it 2-2 before Lyon restored their two-goal advantage thanks to Pavel Sulc's clever backheel flick into the net. Daichi Kamada gave Palace hope as he finished from six yards out to make it 3-2, but the hosts held on for the victory. It was a return to Lyon for Eagles boss Pierre Sage, who had been manager of the Ligue 1 club from November 2023 to January 2025, having previously been a coach. Palace won the third-tier Conference League last season and this is their first campaign playing in Europe's second-tier competition. After two of their eight league-phase matches, they have three points following the 4-0 win over Polish side Lech Poznan.

City – watched by former manager Pep Guardiola on his return to the club – were playing their first home game since being found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules. In an atmosphere of defiance from City's supporters, PSG stunned Enzo Maresca's side by powering into a three-goal lead by half-time. Desire Doue opened the scoring in the 13th minute with a low shot past City keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, before setting up the second with a perfect cross for Ousmane Dembele's header two minutes later. PSG were tearing City apart, Vitinha adding the third after 32 minutes with a clinical finish after superb link play between Maghnes Akliouche and Warren Zaire-Emery. Maresca made three half-time substitutions and City were a team transformed after the break, creating a host of chances before Erling Haaland pulled a goal back with a flicked header from Iliman Ndiaye's cross eight minutes after the interval. City's hopes of a comeback were stopped in their tracks after 62 minutes when Donnarumma initially saved Akliouche's shot, only for it to drop behind him into the net. City refused to yield, Haaland getting his second and seeing another effort miraculously kept out by PSG keeper Matvei Safonov - the one final act of drama coming when Donnarumma saved Ferran Torres' late penalty.
