Man City faces Everton at Etihad Stadium in round 8 of the Premier League on the evening of October 18.
With their current form, coach Pep Guardiola and his team are predicted by experts to have an easy victory over Everton. However, the blue half of Manchester proved powerless to find the net of Everton goalkeeper Pickford.
The away team constantly moved and covered each other, creating a disciplined defense that frustrated Man City's strikers.
Having missed many chances, coach Pep Guardiola and his team almost paid a heavy price right at the end of the first half. Ndiaye handled the ball well before taking a shot in the 41st minute but could not overcome the brilliance of goalkeeper Donnarumma.
In the second half, Man City continuously pushed up their formation in search of the opening goal. Meanwhile, the away team showed discipline in defense and waited for the opportunity to launch sharp counter-attacks.
In the 58th minute, Man City's efforts were finally rewarded. Foden passed down the left wing to O'Reilly, who ran down to receive the ball and crossed for Haaland to jump high and head the ball to open the scoring.
Just 5 minutes later, the fans of the blue half of Manchester had a chance to celebrate again when Erling Haaland completed his double in the 63rd minute. The goal came from a left-footed curling shot that was not strong but was dangerous enough to beat Pickford.
Despite leading their opponents 2-0, coach Pep Guardiola's students still did not want to stop. The Norwegian striker continued to play with concentration to complete his hat-trick but was denied by Everton's defense.
In the end, Man City won 2-0 against Everton. This victory helped coach Pep Guardiola's team extend their unbeaten streak to 8, including 6 wins.
The double scored in the match helped Haaland have 11 goals after just the first 8 rounds of the 2025 - 2026 Premier League.
