Erling Haaland fired Manchester City to the top of the Premier League as the striker sealed a 1-0 win against Southampton on Saturday. Haaland had gone three league games without a goal but he ended that mini drought in the first half at the Etihad Stadium.
That was enough to lift Pep Guardiola’s side into first place, two points ahead of second placed Liverpool, who can regain pole position if they win Sunday’s blockbuster clash with title rivals Arsenal.
