At least for 24 hours, Manchester City took the top spot in the English Premier League. Arling Haaland's early goal beat Southampton. Pep Guardiola's side won 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Liverpool will enter the field of Arsenal tomorrow Sunday with the pressure of regaining the lost top spot. Citizens have topped them with 23 points in 9 matches. Having played one match less, Liverpool (21) dropped to second place two points behind. Arsenal third with 17 points.
In last week's Champions League match against Sparta Prague, he scored one of the two goals in a dazzling 5-0 win. This time, Holland scored three matches in the league. The Norwegian striker opened the scoring in the fifth minute.
Haaland flicked the ball into the net with his foot before falling behind under a strong challenge from defender Jan Bednarek.
Southampton had a great chance to equalize after the break. Cameron Archer hits a shot on goal.
Haaland, who is the league's top scorer with 11 goals, had several chances in the second half but could not increase the gap. His shot from close range of goal hit the sidebar. The 24-year-old striker hit his head in shock after wasting such an opportunity.
