Erling Haaland ended his goal drought with a two-goal performance in Manchester City’s 2-0 victory over Everton. The Norwegian striker had not scored since November, following his return from injury, but he finally found the back of the net in this match.
The game was a slow one, with the deadlock being broken by Haaland after 70 minutes. He then added another goal five minutes from time, securing the win for Manchester City. This victory marked City’s 10th successive win in all competitions, sending a clear message to their title rivals about their growing momentum.
Although the result was not surprising given City’s superior quality, it was a tough blow for relegation-threatened Everton, who had put up a strong defensive display. Despite some bright moments from City, they found it hard to create opportunities due to Everton’s strong defensive tactics. The absence of key players like Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden added to their creative struggles.
The breakthrough for City finally came when Haaland capitalized on a chance in the box and fired a fierce right-footed strike past the Everton goalkeeper. He then secured the win with another goal, shrugging off an Everton defender and slotting the ball into the bottom corner. Despite a disallowed goal for Everton due to offside, City maintained their composure and secured the victory.
The match highlighted City’s dominance and Everton’s defensive resilience. With the win, City further solidified their position in the title race and demonstrated their quality on the field.
