Manchester City's bid to hunt down Arsenal in the title race is steadily going to plan.

Two first-half goals from Nico O'Reilly in Saturday's Premier League visit of Newcastle have stood Pep Guardiola's side in good stead to bridge the gap to two points.

But while the homegrown graduate has taken the headlines, Erling Haaland has actually confirmed himself as the Etihad Stadium's true man of the moment.

The Norway international's assist for O'Reilly to double his tally marked a sixth goal involvement by City's No.9 from his last five starts in all competitions.
