The Norwegian scored his first goal in two months with a lethal half-volley to break the deadlock before an ice-cool finish melted the Toffees
Erling Haaland may have been sidelined for two months with a bone injury but his hunger for goals and his striker's instinct remain in rude health as he fired a lacklustre Manchester City to a 2-0 win over Everton.by saying Manchester City have more chances of winning when Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne are playing but then took a risk by leaving the Belgian out of his starting line-up.
De Bruyne and Kyle Walker gave City more ideas when they were introduced but in the end it was Haaland who made the difference, lashing in the opening goal in the 71st minute before making sure of the points with an assured finish from inside the box.The win means City will sit top of the Premier League for at least a couple of hours before Liverpool play Burnley. But best of all for Guardiola's side was the knowledge that Haaland is back and back with a bang.
