On the eve of going to Paris to the Châtelet theater, probably not to receive the Golden Ball more certainly promised to Lionel Messi but rather to leave with the Gerd Müller Trophy, which rewards the top scorer of the season, Erling Haaland left his mark on the Manchester derby this Sunday by allowing the Cityzens to win on the pitch at Old Trafford (0-3).
While his team was leading the debates in the game against the Red Devils regrouped in defense, the Norwegian opened the scoring with a rather severe penalty whistled for a foul by Hojlund on Rodri (8th). He then sheltered his team after returning from the locker room with a nice headed goal from a good cross from Bernardo Silva (49th), before giving an assist to Foden to complete the festival (80th).
Author of his 10th and 11th goals of the season in the Premier League this afternoon, the Manchester City gunner starts on the same stratospheric bases as last season (33 goals in 35 matches).
Onana nevertheless did the job
However, the 23-year-old serial Nordic scorer has long struggled with an Onana on the big nights (five saves made). He first pushed the Cameroonian into a parade with his first shot of the match (8th), before admiring his relaxation with a powerful header attempt at the far post at the end of the first act (45th + 4th).
The ex-Inter goalkeeper deprived the man of the day of a hat-trick by making a nice outing at his feet 20 minutes from time (71st). Thanks to this victory, Pep Guardiola’s men maintain their third place in the Premier League standings tied with Arsenal and remain two points behind the surprising leader, Tottenham.
