Title: Man City Thrives at Home with Haaland's Goal in Five Consecutive Rounds Manchester City has been on a roll this season and is looking to continue that momentum at home as they prepare for the upcoming Premier League fixture against Arsenal. However, their recent success might not have gone unnoticed by their rivals, as they secured a 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace in the Emirates FA Cup. The game started brightly for City, who took the lead through Hakim Ziyech's header after just five minutes. However, it was Palace who opened the scoring three minutes later when Wilfried Zaha scored from a corner. The visitors were unable to equalize until the half-time whistle, but the second half saw both teams struggle to find the back of the net. However, the hosts found their goal soon after halftime. After a poor display by Palace, City took the lead again through a powerful strike from Benjamin Mendy. The Frenchman headed the ball past Palace goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from a corner kick, and City went into the break leading 1-0. The third period saw City take control of the match, with Haaland finding the back of the net early in the second half. The Norwegian striker had already scored twice in the first two games of the season, including a brace against Chelsea last time out. He struck again in the 64th minute, following a neat finish from the left side of the box. In the final moments of the game, City's dominance continued as Haaland finished off the game with a stunning volley. With the scoreline 3-0 in favor of City, they secured their fourth consecutive win away from home, keeping their unbeaten run going. City's victory over Palace was a testament to their ability to bounce back from defeat and come out stronger next time out. They showed that even though they may have struggled earlier in the season, they can still compete for top spot in the Premier League if they work hard and stay focused. |
