Erling Haaland man of the match

In an electrifying evening at the Etihad, Erling Haaland stole the spotlight by netting four goals against Wolves, propelling Manchester City closer to clinching their fourth consecutive Premier League title. The sensational performance not only showcased Haaland’s prowess but also underscored City’s determination to secure the championship.
