Erling Haaland declared Manchester City completed the task they set out to achieve against Bournemouth after the striker netted in the club’s 4-1 win over Bournemouth.
The Norway sensation bagged City’s second goal of the match on 29 minutes to keep up his goal-a-game ratio having scored 33 goals already this term.
Haaland leads the golden boot race by 10 goals, with Harry Kane in second on 17. Julian Alvarez opened the scoring against the Cherries on 15 minutes before Phil Foden marked his 200th first-team Blues appearance with a goal just before half-time following Haaland’s strike.

The win keeps City within two points of Premier League leaders Arsenal having played a game more than the Gunners. Haaland had gone through a dip in goal-scoring form before the game, netting once in his previous six matches.
