Boos and bananas on day of defiance at Man City

Manchester City defeated Ipswich 3-2 at Etihad Stadium in an atmosphere marked by defiant home supporters waving inflatable bananas and booing the Premier League anthem. The match was City's first top-flight home game since being found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules. Phil Foden scored the opening goal in the 19th minute on his return from suspension as City extended their lead at the top of the table to six points.

The victory marked manager Enzo Maresca's seventh consecutive win in his first seven league matches, setting a new Premier League managerial record. A record crowd of 60,817 watched the game as City secured their best start to a league campaign in 129 years despite off-field challenges.
