NINE GOALS FROM NUMBER NINE: Manchester City’s number nine celebrates his ninth goal of the season – and Saturday’s second. Photo: Phil Noble / Reuters – It’s absolutely incredible! Two chances, two goals, reported Viaplay’s commentator Eivind Bisgaard Sundet. – He is not from here, he lives on his own planet. He is a machine, announced Bojan Djordjic in Viaplay’s studio. With nine goals in the series this season, he has scored more goals than all other teams in the Premier League. Liverpool have the second most goals with seven goals. After the break, he chased goal number three, which would have made him the first in history with a hat trick (three goals) in three consecutive games. It would also be Manchester City’s 100th goal. His teammates gave him several opportunities, but the attempts did not stick. He came closest when the Norwegian hammered the ball into the post just before the end, but a clearly frustrated and dejected Haaland was “only” left with two goals against Brentford.

John Stones had a good opportunity to clear the ball, but lobbed the ball in a strange arc before the ball landed on Wissa’s head. He got a relatively decent job of heading in 1-0 before half a minute had been played. 1-0: Yoane Wissa scores 1-0 with his head. The forward had to be replaced later in the match due to injury.
