Pep Guardiola's Manchester City have been in good form recently, with 49 points from 22 Premier League games, two points behind Liverpool with one game less. Against Everton, Manchester City lined up a 4231 formation, and Haaland was a single arrow. On the bench, Manchester City also have Gvardiol, Walker, B, Grealish and De Bruyne.

Everton's back four system is very solid and squeezes space well. Doku on the left always had a chance to break through with the ball, but it was difficult to tear apart the defence. Throughout the first half, City had 10 shots on goal but 0 on target, while Haaland had just one shot on target.

In the 57th minute, Manchester City replaced Kevin De Bruyne and Guardiola wanted to improve the quality of the last pass. With Tintin on the field, Manchester City's attack was more purposeful and precise. In the face of Manchester City's attacks and pressures in turns, Everton couldn't resist.

In the 71st minute, Manchester City's corner kick, after the top fight in the penalty area, Haaland shot hard with his non-dominant foot (right foot) and pierced Pickford's ten fingers!

Manchester City's first shot on target penetrated Everton's defence!

In the 85th minute, Manchester City scored another goal! It was a steal from the back of the Manchester City backfield, Ake won the ball, and handed it to De Bruyne.

Tintin sent a wonderful through pass, Haaland carried Braithwaite, got a single chance, and sent the ball into the door steadily, Manchester City led 2-0! Haaland's goal showed his super ability - 50-meter sprint, skillful dribbling, crushing confrontation, calm pushing, and flawless.

In just 14 minutes, Haaland scored a brace! Haaland broke the 77-day goal drought and scored his first goal of 2024. In the Premier League this season, Haaland has 16 goals and 5 assists in 18 games, and still maintains high efficiency and stability.

2-0, Manchester City had an absolute advantage, and there was no danger to win three points. From the point of view of the scene, Manchester City were completely in the driver's seat, and despite Everton's stubborn resistance, they were lacking fitness after 70 minutes and could not support a wide-ranging, high-intensity run. Manchester City, led by Kevin De Bruyne, attacked wave after wave. Ahead of the Liverpool game, Manchester City are provisionally at the top of the table.
