The match began with an attacking rhythm from the hosts, as Pep Guardiola’s men controlled the course of the game from the first minutes, amid a defensive decline from Everton and reliance on counterattacks.
Haaland opened the scoring after a wonderful pass from Nico O’Reilly, which the Norwegian star translated into a powerful shot past goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
In the second half, Manchester City continued its constant pressure, so Haaland was able to score his second goal after a pass from Savinho, confirming his team’s superiority and technical advantage throughout the match.
With this victory, Manchester City temporarily raised its score to 16 points at the top of the table, while Everton’s score froze at 11 points in tenth place.
After this victory, City is preparing for a strong confrontation in the ninth round against Aston Villa, in an upcoming summit in which City needs to win in order to continue competing for the Premier League title.
