O Manchester City (2nd) thrashed 4-1 on their visit to last-placed Southampton, just 5 points behind leaders Arsenal, who on Sunday have a difficult game away from home against Liverpool (8th), for the 30th round of the Premier League.
City’s goals were scored by Norwegian star Erling Haaland (45′ and 68′), who with the double this Saturday now reaches 30 goals this season in the English Premier League, Jack Grealish (58′) and Argentine Julián Álvarez (75′ ), who converted a penalty shortly after entering the field to replace the Nordic number 9.
“We need him. Our first half was not good, but he changed the game (…) The second goal was extraordinary”, said City coach Pep Guardiola, who even compared Haaland with the great scorers of recent years .
“We’ve lived through two incredible decades with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as top scorers and he’s at that level. He scores a lot of goals,” he said.
The goal of honor for the bottom of the English league was scored by the young Frenchman Sékou Mara (72′).
