Erling Haaland scored his first goals for Manchester City since November in a 2-0 victory over Everton marking City’s 10th consecutive win and sixth straight Premier League success. Despite a challenging match, Haaland broke the deadlock with a powerful right foot volley and added another goal later.

The win briefly propelled City to the top of the league. Rodri’s pivotal role in City’s unbeaten streak spanning over a year was highlighted. The early Saturday kickoff led to a sluggish start for City but Haaland’s clinical performance secured the victory.

Matheus Nunes struggled to make a significant impact in the midfield and Guardiola experimented with defensive formations. Walker’s return and tactical adjustments showcased City’s defensive flexibility.
