Enzo Maresca makes history: Man City beat Ipswich for seventh straight win

Enzo Maresca became the first manager in Premier League history to win his first seven games in charge after Manchester City's 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, October 18, 2026. Phil Foden scored and Erling Haaland netted a brace to secure the win, extending City’s perfect start to the season.

The achievement highlights Maresca’s successful transition from Pep Guardiola, who departed in the summer. With seven wins from seven matches, City lead the Premier League with 21 points and have yet to drop a point. The result also keeps them on course for a strong title challenge while they prepare for their Champions League clash against AEK Athens FC on Tuesday, October 20, 2026.

What does this perfect start mean for the rest of the season? Will Maresca’s tactical approach keep City at the top, or will the inevitable challenges of a long campaign test his mettle? Fans might consider how this early dominance influences their expectations for the league and European campaigns.
