Erling Haaland extended his remarkable scoring streak as Manchester City defeated Everton 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday to tighten the Premier League title race.
The Norwegian striker struck twice in the second half to seal City’s eighth straight unbeaten game in all competitions and move Pep Guardiola’s men within touching distance of Arsenal and Liverpool.
O’Reilly impresses gain as City break Everton resistance
Everton frustrated the hosts for much of the first half, with striker Beto missing a golden opportunity to put David Moyes’ side ahead. City, however, shifted gears after the break.
Rising midfielder Nico O’Reilly delivered a pinpoint cross for Haaland to head home the opener before the 24-year-old forward doubled the lead five minutes later with a low drive past Jordan Pickford, his 11th league goal in just eight appearances.
