"However, Pep Guardiola's side did not have it all their own way at the Etihad Stadium, where Beto passed up a huge chance for Everton early on. Set up by the impressive Iliman Ndiaye, Beto somehow failed to score with the goal at his mercy. The most involvement Haaland had in the first half was when his challenge forced Jake O'Brien into heading against his own crossbar, while Ndiaye stung Gianluigi Donnarumma's palms at the other end before a glut of half-chances for City."
"Haaland has now plundered 96 Premier League goals in just 105 games. He is all set to smash the record, set by Alan Shearer in the 1995-96 campaign, for the quickest player to a century of goals in the competition (124 appearances). The 25-year-old is already on 11 top-flight goals this season. It is just the third instance in Premier League history of a player hitting 10+ goals across the opening eight games of a campaign,"
Manchester City beat Everton 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium with Erling Haaland scoring twice in the second half. Haaland headed home from Nico O'Reilly's cross in the 58th minute and added a deflected low finish five minutes later. Everton had an early gilt-edged chance when Beto, set up by Iliman Ndiaye, failed to score. Haaland forced an own-goal threat in the first half and Jordan Pickford denied Haaland twice in stoppage time. City moved top of the Premier League and extended their top-flight unbeaten run against Everton to 17 games. Haaland sits on 96 Premier League goals in 105 appearances and has 11 league goals this season, closing in on the fastest 100-goal mark.
