Manchester City Held As Leon Bailey Rescues A Point For Aston Villa

Erling Haaland extended his remarkable start to life in the Premier League, but Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw after Leon Bailey snatched a late equaliser for struggling Aston Villa on Saturday. Haaland has been remarkably prolific since his 51 million pounds ($58 million) move from Borussia Dortmund in the close-season and he struck again in the second half at Villa Park. The Norway striker's 10th goal in his first six Premier League games gave him a share of the record with Micky Quinn, who hit the same tally for Coventry in 1992.

EPL: Kane on target as Tottenham beat Fulham to maintain pace

Tottenham Hotspur maintained their impressive start to the Premier League season with a 2-1 victory over Fulham that did little justice to their best attacking display so far on Saturday. Goals in each half by Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Kane earned Tottenham a fourth win in six games but they should have been out of sight of their London rivals by the time in-form Aleksandar Mitrovic's effort set up a nervy finale. Son Heung-min suffered more ill-fortune in his bid to get off the mark this season with the South Korean denied by the woodwork while Richarlison was denied his first Tottenham goal despite a sensational display by the number nine.
