HIGHLIGHTS! City 2-0 Everton | Haaland's brace fires City into top spot!

Erling Haaland’s brilliant second‑half brace powered City to a 2‑0 Premier League Etihad win over Everton – and up into top spot in the league table for a few hours at least. The Norwegian extended his remarkable run of form by opening the scoring on 58 minutes with a superb header to break Everton’s dogged resistance and find the target for the 11th consecutive game for club and country. Within five minutes, Haaland struck again, firing home from Savinho’s neat assist to make it 23 goals for the season overall and 14 for City, 11 of which came in the league. Everton proved tough to break down and made life difficult in a hard‑fought first half, but City were not to be denied. It was just the latest demonstration of Haaland’s incredible predatory powers and City’s capacity for overcoming the most obdurate of opponents, and it was enough to send City top – at least until after Arsenal’s match with Fulham later today.
