In the rest of the first half, Manchester City kept pushing with chances from Bernardo Silva and especially Phil Foden (hit the crossbar), but the Citizens were never able to score the 2-1 until the 44′ minute when Left Back Nico O’Reilly crossed to Erling Haaland who scored once again (his 11th goal of the season in 8 games).
