Manchester City continued to pile pressure on Arsenal at the top of the Premier League as the Citizens thrashed Brentford 3-0 on Saturday at the Etihad Stadium.
The game was goalless at half time, and Jeremy Doku was the brightest spark for City in their display.
Doku produced a near-carbon copy of his equaliser on Merseyside to break the deadlock on the hour mark, and 15 minutes later Haaland bundled home from close range to make the points safe.

Haaland was the provider as Omar Marmoush added late gloss to the scoreline with an injury-time strike that could prove critical if the title race comes down to goal difference. City (+40) are now just a goal behind Arsenal on goal difference.
City have 74 points from 35 games but their draw at Everton on Monday means they need Arsenal, who visit relegation-threatened West Ham United on Sunday, to squander points in one of their remaining games to have a chance at the title.
