Haaland double drives City to a 2-1 half-time lead as Guardiola nudges the plan forward
On Friday Guardiola said Haaland needed more help in scoring.
Two days later he did the business twice, sending City into a 2-1 half-time lead.
Today, the Norwegian now has 13 Premier League goals this season.
In England’s top flight, he has 98 goals in 107 appearances.
However, Burnley’s Maxime Estève has two own goals this season, making him City’s top league contributor so far.
Meanwhile, Foden has scored once.
Additionally, Tijjani Reijnders has scored once.
Likewise, Matheus Nunes has scored once.
Similarly, Rayan Cherki has scored once.
Nico O’Reilly has scored once, including in this game.
Nevertheless, the 2-1 half-time lead proved unassailable as City closed out the win.
Despite the ongoing rebuilds around this league, Haaland keeps scoring.
TLDR
- Haaland scores twice to give City a 2-1 half-time lead.
- He now has 13 Premier League goals this season and 98 in 107 top-flight appearances.
- Scoring power beyond Haaland comes from Foden, Reijnders, Nunes, Cherki and O’Reilly.
