its players Manchester He left Anfield bitterly last Sunday after the 1-0 defeat to Liverpool but quickly made an impression. They did so on Saturday afternoon (22/10) as part of their 13th game Premier Leaguewith the English champions subduing a struggling Brighton 3-1 resistance and returning to success, with the distance to the top of the standings reduced to one point.
The star for the Citizens was – the usual suspect – Erling Haaland, who paved the way for the treble in the first half. In the 22nd minute, he took advantage of Anderson’s shot and took Webster by the arm, to avoid the outgoing Sanchez with a dribble and made the score 1-0.

A chance in the 73rd minute to equalize and two minutes later a citizen came to “close” the match.

Notably, this was his 24th league goal with an out-of-area effort since his debut in a blue shirt in September 2015, with no other player at the time scoring more in this manner.
