Erling Haaland extended his amazing scoring run this season with his double for Manchester City in the 2-0 home win over Everton, and he widened the gap in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot.
The Norwegian now has 11 goals in the Premier League this season, five clear of his nearest rival, Antoine Semenyo, who was not on the scoresheet in AFC Bournemouth’s 3-3 draw with Crystal Palace.
Jean-Philippe Mateta’s hat-trick in that match has sent him third in the Golden Boot rankings, with five goals.

Haaland’s brace took him to double figures inside eight matches, the third-fastest that a player has reached 10 goals in a season.
The player to get to double figures faster was Halaand himself. Last season he did so after only five matches and six matches two years previously.
