All three goals of the home team Man City were scored in the first half, while the away team's honorary goal was scored in the second half.

Man City started strongly at home. In the 5th minute, Stones quickly shot from the edge of the penalty area, sending the ball close to the right post. Leicester's goalkeeper had slow reflexes because he was out of sight, so he couldn't block it.

With an early goal, Man City felt even more comfortable. In the 10th minute, VAR awarded the home team a penalty after a player from the away team handled the ball in the penalty area.

Haaland was responsible for the free kick, he successfully executed the penalty kick to bring the score to 2-0 for the home team.

In the 24th minute, from a lightning counterattack, De Bruyne assisted Haaland to run down and finish the ball past goalkeeper Iversen, raising the score to 3-0.

After scoring three goals in the first half, Man City slowed down. Coach Guardiola quickly kept his players, saving energy for the match against Bayern Munich in the middle of next week by making personnel adjustments right after the break.

Haaland was taken off after the first half, De Bruyne came on in the 62nd minute, Man City changed 4 players in just 17 minutes of the second half.

Haaland's record has now stopped at 32 goals this season, with the Norwegian only 2 goals short of the all-time Premier League scoring record.

With 3 more points, Man City rose to 70 points, 3 points behind Arsenal. At 8pm today (April 16), Arsenal will enter the match in round 31 at West Ham.

With a double against Leicester, Erling Haaland reached 32 goals in the 2022/23 Premier League.

In the history of the Premier League in the 38-round format, only one player has done the same: Mohamed Salah (32 goals in the 2017/18 season). With 8 matches in hand, Haaland has the opportunity to monopolize this record.

Haaland could even break the greatest record in Premier League history of his two predecessors Andy Cole (34 goals in the 1993/94 season) and Alan Shearer (34 goals in the 1994/95 season). However, at that time, the Premier League had 22 teams and 42 rounds.
