EPL: Haaland’s Goal Secures Crucial Win For Manchester City

Manchester City climbed to second place in the Premier League table on Tuesday night after a hard-fought win over Brentford.

Thanks to Erling Haaland, who again wrote his name into the league record books by scoring against every team.

The Norwegian sensational counterattack goal, which makes it the 17th goal in just 20 appearances in EPL this season, proved to be the difference as Pep Guardiola’s side secured a 1-0 win over a compressed Brentford team.

Haaland’s goal is his 22nd in all competitions showcasing his clinical ability in front of goal, underlying why he is considered one of the best strikers in world football.

Guardiola, in his post-match comments, praised his team for their performance against a ‘difficult’ Brentford side, highlighting the need to continue learning and improving. The victory also saw goalkeeper Ederson Moraes equal Joe Hart’s record for the most clean sheets (109) kept in Manchester City’s Premier League history, a testimony to the Brazilian shot-stopper’s consistency and quality between the sticks.

With the win, Manchester City moved to 2nd place in the league standings, just one point behind leaders Liverpool. The title race is heating up and every point is important as the season reaches its peak.
