Erling Haaland remains the top goalscorer of Manchester City this season so far across all competitions.

Haaland scored two goals in the first half against Bournemouth, which puts him in an exclusive list with Premier League legends like Luis Suarez.

Man City took the lead in the 17th minute after Rayan Cherki headed the ball towards space for Erling Haaland to run into. Haaland runs into the penalty spot and shoots it past Bournemouth goalkeeper, Djordje Petrovic.

Bournemouth equalized eight minutes later, when Tyler Adams took advantage of the mistake of Man City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

In the 32nd minute, Haaland ran past the Bournemouth keeper and slotted the ball past him into the empty net. The Norwegian's second goal marked his 13th Premier League goal of the season.
