The highlight of the match was Erling Haaland's 5-minute double, helping the Etihad team extend their impressive streak.
Right after the opening whistle, Man City quickly took control of the game and pressured their opponents. Despite creating a series of opportunities, coach Pep Guardiola's team still could not penetrate Everton's net in the first half, despite a situation where the ball hit the away team's goal in the 24th minute.
Everton also created a few dangerous counter-attacks but could not take advantage. Entering the second half, the deadlock was broken in the 58th minute, when Haaland jumped high and headed the balliaiely to open the score 1-0 for Man City.
Just 5 minutes later, the Norwegian striker continued to shine with a deep-lying finish in the penalty area, raising the score to 2-0. This double not only brought Man City 3 points but also helped Haaland go down to Premier League history as the first player to score more than 10 goals after 8 rounds in 3 consecutive seasons.
This was the 11th consecutive match Haaland scored for both club and national team. The victory over Everton helped Man City maintain their position in the top group of the rankings with 16 points, continuing the journey to defend the Premier League title this season.
