to be derailed in 4 days, the loss of 4 factors in successive domestic video games beckoning.

Enter Haaland. He had scored towards 20 of the 21 opponents

he had confronted in the Premier League. Only Brentford had denied him, simply as Brentford annoyed City for

70 minutes here. But, 10 days earlier, Everton held out for 70 minutes at the Etihad Stadium, too,

conceded to Haaland in the 71st and lost. To the annoyance of City’s title rivals, records repeated itself.

loss of stability will no longer be the most well-known slip in a title race –

Steven Gerrard nevertheless boasts that doubtful honour – however City emerged successful

in 2014. If they do so once more in 2024, they may additionally thank a

Norwegian except their pinnacle scorer: the luckless Brentford defender.
