Erling Haaland’s brilliant second-half brace powered City to a 2-0 Premier League Etihad win over Everton – and up into second spot in the league table.
The Norwegian extended his remarkable run of form by opening the scoring on 58 minutes with a superb header to break Everton’s dogged resistance and so find the target for the 11th consecutive game for club and country.
And within five minutes, Haaland then struck again, firing home from Savinho’s neat assist to make it 23 goals for the season overall and 14 for City, 11 having coming in the league.
Everton proved tough to break down and made life tough in a hard-fought first half but City were not to be denied.
It was just the latest demonstration both of Haaland’s incredible predatory powers and City’s capacity for overcoming the most obdurate of opponents.
And it was enough to send City initially top for a few hours before Arsenal’s win at Fulham in the later kick-off saw us occupy second position.
