(VIDEO) He is officially back, Erling Haaland great goal with Manchester City
Erling Haaland managed to return to goal with Manchester City vs Brighton
Manchester City started the match against Brighton in a great way with two early goals. Pep Guardiola's team faces one of the most difficult clubs in England, but in reality it is being easily surpassed by the citizen team. Julian Alvarez managed to score the first game of the match, and the big news of the game is that Erling Haaland returned to scoring for Manchester City in all competitions.
The last time both teams met was on May 24 of this year, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw on matchday 32 of last season's Premier League. While of the last five games they faced each other, Manchester City won three and Brighton won one. The Citizens are third in the Premier League with 18 points (they are two units behind second and first, Arsenal and Tottenham respectively).
However, this game is being dominated by citizens. Pep Guardiola's team certainly looks comfortable and things are starting to go well for them. Manchester City's bad moment - they have three defeats in the last four games - has coincided with Rodri's absence due to suspension and with the negative streak of Erling Haaland's scorer. The former Molde, Salzburg and Borussia Dortmund player has gone three games without scoring against Arsenal (1-0), RB Leipzig (1-3) and Wolverhampton (2-1). However, he scored again in this game
Erling Haaland's goal
Haaland took advantage of the error in the start between Solly March and Baleba to take the ball and finish off Steele. Brighton doesn't wake up. Erling Haaland with an insane finish. This victory could be a more than necessary emotional boost for Manchester City and will be important this season. Pep Guardiola's team did not start the season in the best possible way and the reality is that the club hopes to achieve an important result that will put them squarely back in the race at the top, where they have been dominating for years.
