In the 8th round of the Premier League, Man City faced Everton at their Etihad home ground and comfortably won 2-0, powered by Erling Haaland’s outstanding display.

The home team quickly gained control of the match, but the opening minutes were dominated by the visitors. At minute 14, Everton almost scored when Beto missed a close-range shot in a one-on-one situation, squandering a golden opportunity after Ndiaye’s effort.

Afterwards, Man City completely took over with superior ball possession, while Everton deliberately set up a dense defense. The home side kept firing shots, but most were blocked by Everton’s defense. The most regrettable moment was Haaland’s header that struck the crossbar in the 24th minute from a corner kick.
