Haaland reached an extraordinary milestone with Man City after 3 times… touching the ball

While Man City beat Everton to go straight to the championship, Erling Haaland constantly created new goals for himself.

Man City only needed the first 50 minutes to decide the outcome against Everton with 3 goals. Of these, captain Ilkay Gundogan scored a brace, including the opening goal from an incredible back-kick and another from a direct free kick.

Surprisingly, the midfielder scored 4 goals in the last 2 matches, plus an assist for Haaland to make it 2-0. This header means the Norwegian striker has reached the milestone of 60 related goals in all competitions since the start of the season for Man City, including 52 goals and 8 assists, made in 48 appearances.

It is worth mentioning that Haaland scored after only the 3rd touch (first half was 5 times), showing how scary he was even when he seemed to be out of the game.

Thanks to this latest goal, Haaland is the third player to score in 5 or more consecutive away games in the Premier League for Man City, after Sergio Aguero (3 times) and Uwe Rosler. In his 100th appearance in Europe’s top 5 leagues, he scored his… 98th goal.

Of course, Haaland’s goals have a great influence on Man City, but in the immediate future, the Premier League championship is very close. To date, he has scored 40% of the home team’s goals in the Premier League, something only Harry Kane (42%) has achieved for his team this season.

With the 11th consecutive win in the English Premier League, Man City not only took another step to successfully defend the throne but also confidently entered the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid.
