Manchester City, with three Portuguese in the eleven, drew 1-1 with Aston Villa this Saturday in Birmingham, with Haaland scoring again and could be further away from Arsenal’s leaders in the English football league.
On Matchday 6, Haaland scored for the fourth match in a row (he just didn’t “earn” the round) and netted 10 goals in his debut season in the Premier League, but the Norwegian giant’s “hot leg” wasn’t enough to get the champions back to Manchester with triumph.
Rubén Dias, Joao Cancelo and Bernardo Silva have again been manager Pep Guardiola’s bets in Manchester City’s starting team, this time against the Premier League’s penultimate player and a side that has suffered three defeats in a row.
After a goalless first half, Haaland scored in the 50th minute and became the first player since 1992, that is, in 30 years, to reach 10 goals in the first six rounds of the competition.
The Citizens had hoped to end the day as interim leaders of the Premier League with an advantage, but the Jamaican Bayley restored the score in the 74th minute, and this result was maintained until the end.
Manchester City now have 14 points and are tied for second with Tottenham, one short of Arsenal, who visit Manchester United on Sunday.
Aston Villa remain in 17th place with four points, joined by three more teams (Everton, West Ham and Nottingham Forest).
