Overview

• Erling Haaland scored twice in five second‑half minutes to seal Manchester City’s 2-0 home win over Everton at the Etihad.
• Haaland has scored in 11 successive games for club and country and leads the Premier League with 11 goals in eight matches.
• Only three times has a player hit 10 or more Premier League goals in the first eight games of a season, and all three instances are Haaland.
• Pep Guardiola said City “cannot rely on just him,” calling for greater end product from Savinho, Jérémy Doku, Tijjani Reijnders and other attackers.
• City moved up to second in the table after the victory, as Everton’s David Moyes conceded Haaland “made the difference” and joked he wished the striker played elsewhere.
