Erling Haaland overcame some big misses to score twice in Switzerland as he warmed up for the Manchester derby

The striker overcame some big misses to score twice in Switzerland as he warmed up for the Manchester derby

Erling Haaland does not look completely right and yet he still keeps scoring. The Norwegian missed a hatful of chances against Young Boys that you would normally expect him to bury, but he left the match with two more goals in a pretty routine 3-1 win for Manchester City in Bern. A scrappy goal from Manuel Akanji put City ahead early in the second half after a bitty first period on the astroturf pitch, but Meschak Elia lobbed Ederson to draw Young Boys level.

City got their noses back in front with a fortuitous penalty which Haaland converted, ending a five-game drought in the Champions League. The Norwegian then made sure of the victory with a fine, top-corner finish to take his tally for the season to 11 goals, perfect preparation for Sunday's Manchester derby.
