Premier League: Haaland’s Scoring Streak, Brighton’s Dominance Highlight Gameweek 5

Gameweek 5 of the 2026/27 Premier League season was filled with record-breaking moments. Erling Haaland continued his impressive form by scoring in Manchester City’s 5-3 win over Sunderland. This goal means he has now scored against all 25 Premier League teams he has faced.

The match also saw a unique record as Sunderland’s Brian Brobbey became the fourth player in Premier League history to score a hat-trick against the team that started the game at the top of the table. Despite Brobbey’s three goals, City came away with all three points, thanks in part to five first-half goals.

Brighton & Hove Albion made headlines by defeating Arsenal 3-0, marking their third straight season of beating the reigning champions at home. This win also made Brighton the highest-scoring team in the league after five games, with 16 goals. Pascal Groß has been a key player, contributing three goals and three assists.

Liverpool’s Alexander Isak continued his strong start to the season, scoring four goals in his first five Premier League games—already surpassing last season’s total of three goals in 14 appearances. Meanwhile, Brentford achieved a historic unbeaten start with their 3-0 win over Chelsea, extending their remarkable Friday game record to six wins and one draw in seven matches.

Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Fulham saw an incredible 26 shots in the first half alone, the most in a Premier League game without goals scored in the opening half since 2003/04. Despite this attacking display, United remain on just five points after five games.
