Erling Haaland Brace Fires Man City Past Everton to Go Top of the Premier League
Manchester City returned to winning ways in style with a 2-0 victory over Everton at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, thanks to a brilliant second-half brace from Erling Haaland.
After a quiet first half, the Norwegian striker broke the deadlock in the 58th minute with a powerful header, then sealed the win just five minutes later with a clinical left-footed finish inside the box.
City dominated possession and created numerous chances, while Everton struggled to cope with the pressure after the break. The win sees Pep Guardiola’s men climb to the top of the Premier League table, maintaining their impressive home form.
Despite the victory, Guardiola noted the need for more attacking contributions beyond Haaland to avoid overreliance on their star forward.
