Erling Haaland continued his incredible goal-scoring form as Manchester City secured a comfortable 2–0 victory over Everton, with the Norwegian forward scoring both goals in quick succession to put the game beyond reach.
Manchester City controlled possession from the start, but Everton held a disciplined defensive shape, making it difficult for Pep Guardiola’s side to break through. However, it only took a brief moment of brilliance for Haaland to make the difference.
The striker reacted sharply inside the box to fire home the opener, and just moments later, he doubled City’s lead with a clinical finish that left the goalkeeper with no chance. That rapid brace took Haaland’s tally to 23 goals already this season, a staggering record as the campaign reaches its midway point.
Everton attempted to respond but struggled to create any real threat against City’s solid backline. With Haaland in ruthless form and the midfield dictating the tempo, City saw out the match comfortably to claim all three points and maintain pressure at the top of the Premier League table.
