Haaland scored as Man City won big 2
After 64 minutes without scoring even though the home team led 3-0, Haaland seemed to be relieved with the cushion that sealed the victory.
Haaland ran immediately to Cancelo’s position and lifted the defender up.
One-touch cushion shot at a distance of about 10 meters…
…helped Haaland score in the seventh consecutive match in the Premier League, at Etihad Stadium, Manchester, England on October 8.
Haaland’s achievements are so impressive that despite scoring goals, his performance dropped from 1.75 goals per match to 1.67, in the Premier League.
Haaland could have scored earlier in this match, with a good opportunity in the 14th minute. Phil Foden crossed in for Haaland to escape quickly without anyone following.
Even when he hasn’t scored, Haaland still contributes to Man City’s goals.
The situation where Foden pressed the ball past the goalkeeper scored his sixth goal in the Premier League this season.
Foden also played impressively when he assisted Cancelo to open the score in the 20th minute. Receiving the ball in the middle of the field, he opened the ball to the left for Cancelo to rush forward quite easily.
Man City’s remaining goal was scored by Riyad Mahrez at the beginning of the second half.
Man City dominated most important statistics in this match, for example with 21 shots, while Southampton only had five shots.
Pep Guardiola’s team has scored 45 goals in all competitions this season.
Ahead of Man City in the Premier League is a much more difficult challenge, when they have to play at Anfield against Liverpool.
