Ilkay Gundogan’s expert low strike into the bottom corner would have been commended on any other day. It was only a ceremonial victory on this historic night, which mirrored City’s 7-0 victory over Schalke in 2019.
The Norwegian in his very first season with Manchester City, Haaland has already surpassed the most goals in a season wearing the City shirt. He opened the scoring 21st minute after City were awarded with a penalty and Haaland netted a hard and accurate shot into right bottom corner.

2 minutes later, Haaland scored again this time with his head. He converted a rebound off Kevin De Bruyne’s sensational left-footed attempt which had hit the top corner. The 21-year-old bagged a first-half hat-trick this time through a corner to make it 3-0.
His 4th and 5th goal looked quite similar. Both of the goals were scored within the space of just 4 minutes. He is now on top of UEFA Champions League goal scorers chart with 10 goals to his name already. He will now have Cristiano Ronaldo’s most goal in a single season on sight.
