Erling Haaland equalled another record as Manchester City increased the pressure on Premier League leaders Arsenal with a 3-1 win over relegation-threatened Leicester.
The prolific Norwegian struck twice at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday to draw level with the competition’s record of 32 goals for a 38-game season.
His double came after a superb early strike from John Stones and all but wrapped up a victory for City that cut the Gunners’ lead at the top to three points inside 25 minutes.
Former City striker Kelechi Iheanacho pulled one back and later hit a post as City surprisingly finished nervily but it was still a tough first afternoon in charge for new Leicester manager Dean Smith.
