Manchester City regain their footing with Erling Haaland double

Erling Haaland finally ended his five-game scoring drought with a dramatic brace, including a trademark run-through goal, to secure a vital win for Manchester City against Everton.

The Citizens struggled initially, failing to register a single shot on target in the first half. However, the introduction of Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker sparked a revival.

Haaland volleyed home from a corner before showcasing his power in the 70th minute, leaving young defender Jarrad Branthwaite for dead in a thrilling sprint towards goal.

Everton, despite impressing with their defensive organization, ultimately succumbed to City’s relentless pressure.
