Manchester City secured a vital 3-1 win over Leicester City and Erling Haaland is one step away from achieving the record every Premier League striker could wish for.

Erling Haaland, a double in the match Manchester City – Leicester 3-1

Pep Guardiola’s team scored through Stones (‘5) and Haaland (’13 penalty, ’25) and Iheanacho (’75) closed the gap on the visitors.
