Haaland bags a brace as Manchester City win 3-0 away at Crystal Palace | OneFootball

Manchester City visited Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park for matchday 16 of the Premier League and won 3-0 with a brace from Erling Haaland.

Arsenal's agonizing victory over Wolverhampton put pressure on City in their visit to Oliver Glasner's team.

They had to win to stay two points from the top and against a rival that has been having great campaigns in recent years. They did not fail and succeeded with flying colors thanks to Erling Haaland, who was once again the star.

The Citizens ended up winning 3-0 comfortably, but the development of the game was not so easy. In fact, it took them 40 minutes to break through the defense of a Palace that appeared solid.

The first goal of the English afternoon-evening came from the head of the Norwegian Haaland, who connected a precise cross from Nunes and changed the direction to beat Henderson.

The Eagles did not give up and put up a fight, approaching Donnarumma's goal dangerously with a shot hitting the crossbar and another hitting the post.

Glasner's Palace could not capitalize on their chances and ended up paying dearly against a lethal attack that did not forgive: Phil Foden took care of the 2-0 with a powerful left-footed shot that went into the bottom corner, sealing the match at 70 minutes.

Near the end, Crystal Palace left themselves exposed at the back, pushed forward, and City caught them off guard. On the counter, Henderson committed a penalty on Savinho and this opened the door for Haaland's brace, who converted his shot into a goal.

With this resounding victory, Manchester City reached 34 points and stayed two behind Arsenal. Also in the race is Aston Villa, whose 3-2 win over West Ham left them with 33.
