Erling Haaland scored two crucial goals to lead Manchester City to a 2-0 victory over Everton in a Premier League match at the Etihad Stadium. This win has temporarily placed Manchester City at the top of the league standings.
The first half ended without any goals, though both sides created chances. Everton’s Beto and Ndiaye were a threat on counter-attacks, while City’s Savinho and Haaland consistently pushed forward.
The deadlock was broken early in the second half. Haaland positioned himself near the penalty spot and headed in a precise cross from Nico O’Reilly, sending the ball over the goalkeeper Pickford. This marked Haaland’s tenth Premier League goal of the season, making him one of the quickest players to reach this milestone in the league.
Five minutes later, Haaland extended City’s lead. He converted a well-placed cutback from Savinho from the left flank with a clinical finish. With this, Haaland has now scored 11 league goals in just eight games, reinforcing his status as a top striker in the league.
Manchester City will next play against Villarreal in the UEFA Champions League. Everton’s next Premier League match will be at home against Tottenham.
