This striker is from another planet…
Erling Haaland (22) and Manchester City celebrate a comfortable victory in the Premier League on Saturday night, winning 4-1 at AFC Bournemouth.
Pep Guardiola’s team (52) dominated the game in the penultimate game at will.
And Haaland makes history.
“Something’s wrong” Mysterious Bayern events
15. Minute: Bournemouth keeper Neto saves a shot from Phil Foden. Because the ball is free, Haaland shoots at goal from half-right – but only hits the crossbar. The ball then bounces back into the field. In the end, Alvarez can net.
But then it’s Haaland showtime. The Norwegian writes city history.
29. Minute: After a cross from Gündogan from the left, the ball lands at Phil Foden. This serves super striker Erling Haaland, who slams the ball into the goal from a short distance. 2-0 for City!
The 27th goal in the league for Haaland this season. So far no player has scored that often in a Premier League season with the Citizens – and that following 24 games.
By the way, it is the Norwegian’s 33rd goal for City in the 33rd game.
Then it’s his striker colleagues’ turn, screwing up the result.
45. Minute: Phil Foden (22) exploits a mistake made by the defense and makes it 3-0 from close range.
51. Minute: The penultimate can only intercept a cross from Rico Lewis. Then the ball suddenly falls in front of Julián Álvarez (23). He stays cool and makes it 4-0. Fourth goal of the season.
Jefferson Lerma (28) is only doing cosmetic results with the 4:1.
In the end, the 200th away win for City in the Premier League.
With the win, Manchester City remain close behind leaders Arsenal (1st/57) with 55 points. The Gunners have a game down though…
