"Haaland had been having a relatively quiet game but his clinical finishes either side of the hour mark again showed why defences can never rest easy in the 25-year-old's presence. He has now scored in 11 successive games for either City or Norway and, with 96 Premier League goals under his belt, is fast approaching a century in the competition after just 105 appearances. Overall, he has scored 138 in 155 games for the club since his arrival from Borussia Dortmund in 2022."
"City's first attempt came when Nico O'Reilly shot wide but they survived a scare after Nathan Aké gave the ball away. Iliman Ndiaye swooped and fired a low ball across the box but a stretching Beto could not make meaningful contact. Pickford denied Savinho at the other end and City almost took the lead when Jake O'Brien diverted the ball onto the Everton woodwork as Haaland lurked at a corner."
Erling Haaland scored a quick double in the second half to deliver a 2-0 victory for Manchester City over Everton at the Etihad. He opened the scoring with a powerful header on 58 minutes and added a left-footed strike five minutes later, taking his campaign total to 23 goals in 13 appearances for club and country. Haaland has scored in 11 successive games and sits on 96 Premier League goals after 105 appearances, with 138 goals in 155 club matches since joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2022. Everton posed intermittent threats, Jordan Pickford produced important saves, and City had chances before Haaland's decisive interventions.
