The case is updated. – It’s been crazy. I have tried to keep my spirits up. It has been terrible. I’ve been bored and it’s been awful. But now I’m back, says Haaland to Viaplay about his injury. Jærbuen has had problems with a small fracture in his foot and was out of action from 6 December to 31 January. This is his first goal since the injury. Before the match, it had been 77 days since he last put the ball in the goal in the league – but against Everton it finally came loose for Haaland. It was 0-0 after the first half. Haaland and co. was certainly on the offensive for a long time, but “The Toffees” defended themselves very well. So after 70 minutes, Haaland got a hole in the boil. After a bit of fumbling and fumbling Inside the 16-yard box, the top scorer tapped the ball in with his right foot, to wild cheers from the City supporters at the Etihad Stadium. – Was it a relief or joy to score? – It has been both. It’s a wonderful feeling. It was nice stuff, says Haaland in the interview. SCORET: Here, Haaland finally scores for City, after months of goal drought.

Haaland got the ball and passed Jarrad Branthwaite, before the latter was scrubbed over. Alone with the goalkeeper, he easily placed the ball in the net. Nor did the praise take long after Haaland ended his goal drought. The former football pro after another tweeted his way. Alan Shearer called Haaland brilliant, Gary Lineker thought the järbuen played superbly, and Stan Collymore thought the Norwegian showed “Beast mode”. GLIS: Jærbuen was very happy to get a hole in the boil.

He thus stands with 16 league goals this season. Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah is chasing the closest with 14. SATISFIED COACH: Pep Guardiola was very pleased that the star forward is back where he belongs. Photo: Reuters – The substitutions in the second half gave us a better rhythm, and of course Erling (Haaland) is back. His finish was fantastic, says Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola to TNT sports after the match. Chance-poor match Before Haaland scored the first goal after 70 minutes, City had barely created a single chance. Everton defended very well, and did not allow City to have any great opportunities. Then Kevin De Bruyne was substituted – another injury-plagued City star – and then the light blues began to hunt for goals. He provided the assist on Haaland’s second goal. – Absolutely crazy what he delivers, exclaimed Viaplay expert Tor Ole Skullerud when Haaland scored two goals. The match finally ended 2-0 to Manchester City, who currently lead the Premier League one point ahead of Liverpool. The latter play at home against Burnley at 4 p.m.
