Instagram after the game, Haaland said: "Important win on the road! Travelling support incredible as always." The 23-year-old has scored 30 times in 36 games in all competitions this campaign.

"It was really good for his performance. Manuel Akanji pushes a lot and is unbelievable playing at left-back. He is an incredible player. Rico Lewis and Oscar Bobb were really good on that side in the first half. We wanted to score early in the second half and then we could close the game. City's focus will turn to the
