After 55 days out, on his second return in the Premier League, the Norwegian scored 2 goals to bring the champions back to the top of the league until Liverpool play against Burnley at 3pm today.
Haaland regains his top spot in the golden boot race going to 16 goals with Salah just 2 goals behind him on 14 despite being injured for 10 games he still holds the top spot in the league and the golden boot race.
The first half was very cagey for the home side no registering a single shot on target despite taking 11 shots. This hasnβt happened since August 2022 at the Etihad stadium. Despite this the game did not end the same and Erling Haaland stepped up and became the goal scorers fans across the world have come to love.
The Etihad has become a fortress in the last 15 months with Manchester City not dropping points since a loss against Brentford on the last game before the 2022 World Cup. A fortress that has become impenetrable in the Premier League this year.
After a purple patch of City losing games and dropping crucial points, they seem to be back to their best form that won them the treble last year. They are back to the top of the league for at least 2 hours until Liverpool vs Burnley concludes.
Despite not starting the game, Kevin De Bruyne managed an assist for Haalands second goal that put the nail in the coffin for the win over a defiant Everton.
They will be hoping for a draw or a loss for the Liverpool game but until then, they will enjoy their place back in the top of the Premier League.
