He led Manchester City to victory over Everton… Haaland’s scoring machine does not stop

Manchester City player Erling Haaland continued his scoring brilliance by scoring two goals within five minutes in the second half today, Saturday, to lead his team to the top of the English Premier League temporarily by defeating Everton 2-0.

Coach Pep Guardiola’s team has 16 points from eight matches before Arsenal and Liverpool, in second and third places, play their matches in this round. Everton fell to tenth place with 11 points. Haaland (25 years old), who scored for the match 11 in a row with his club and country, with a total of 23 goals this season, was calm throughout the first half at Etihad Stadium, but he opened the scoring in the 58th minute when he rose high to head Nico O’Reilly’s cross from the left side into the net.

The Norwegian doubled City’s lead five minutes later when he took advantage of Savinho’s cross and shot a powerful left ball from the middle of the penalty area that hit James Tarkowski and went past goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

Haaland was hungry to complete his personal hat-trick, as he had three great chances in the final minutes. Pickford saved two of them with his feet.

Haaland ran with the ball and dribbled past Pickford in the third opportunity, but his shot from a very narrow angle went wide of the net.

Haaland shook his head in frustration, while the crowd chanted, “Haaland!” Haaland! For his efforts.

City player Phil Foden praised Haaland for breaking the deadlock, describing that moment as “very important.”

He told reporters, “We know that he has that quality of timing his starts perfectly and being in the right place.” Despite the close supervision, he is still able to score, and we know that he only needs one opportunity to score.”

“Be very patient,” he added. There wasn’t a lot of space for him today. But as you can see, Haaland always shines at the right time, and this is one of the abilities of any high-caliber striker.”
