In a pivotal clash at the Etihad stadium, Manchester City secured a crucial victory against Everton, propelled to the top of the Premier League table by Erling Haaland’s second-half brace.
These goals, marking Haaland's return to scoring form since recovering from a foot injury in December, played a decisive role in City's ascent to the temporary summit of the league. The win further exacerbated Everton's predicament, plunging them into a deep relegation crisis.
Noteworthy is the contribution of Kevin de Bruyne, who, following a prolonged injury layoff, showcased his pivotal role in setting up Haaland’s second goal, reinforcing City's resurgence with key players returning to form.
