Football pundit Gary Lineker expressed his admiration for Manchester City striker Erling Haaland’s performance against Everton, in which he scored two goals. Haaland, a prolific goal scorer, made a comeback to scoring after a lull with two brilliant goals against Everton, helping City to a victory at the Etihad. Lineker praised Haaland’s clinical finishing in the match.

Initially, City faced stiff opposition from Everton. However, the late action from Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, and Kyle Walker were game-changers. De Bruyne set up the first goal for Haaland with a corner, which deflected off a couple of players, and later assisted the striker for his second goal. This commanding performance briefly pushed City to the top of the ranking, but Liverpool subsequently overtook them by defeating Burnley.

Despite having limited involvement in the game, Haaland’s ability to find the back of the net was applauded by Lineker. According to him, Haaland’s return to form is a testament to his remarkable goal-scoring abilities. Presently, Haaland has 16 goals in the Premier League and 21 across all competitions. His scoring record is even more impressive given his two-month injury hiatus.

The two goals that Haaland netted against Everton were remarkable. His finishing ability was exceptional and is likely to unsettle rival teams. With his impressive performance, City has emerged as a strong contender for the league title.

In conclusion, Haaland’s impeccable finishing and goal-scoring instinct have made him an invaluable asset for Manchester City. Lineker’s praise for Haaland’s proficiency and City’s robust squad make them a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League.
