In the 74th minute, City's star striker Erling Haaland doubled the lead. A looping cross from Savinho found Haaland, whose header left the goalkeeper helpless. This was only Haaland's second goal in his last eight league matches.
With this victory, Manchester City signals a return to form, but they need more consistency to challenge at the top of the table.
