Erling Haaland scored twice in the second half to secure a 2-0 victory for Manchester City against Everton at the Etihad. David Moyes' team held City at bay for nearly an hour, with Iliman Ndiaye standing out, but Haaland broke the deadlock with a header from a Nico O'Reilly cross and later doubled the lead, marking his 11th Premier League goal of the season. After a challenging August, where Pep Guardiola's side lost two of their first three matches, City now boasts four wins and a draw, placing them at the top of the table ahead of Arsenal's visit to Fulham. Everton, meanwhile, missed early chances, including a Beto miss and a crucial save by Gianluigi Donnarumma against Ndiaye, leaving them mid-table with 11 points. Haaland leads the scoring charts by five goals, and despite City's uneven start, his form keeps their title hopes strong.
