Manchester City have their dynamic duo back on the pitch and firing and it may be crucial in this season’s Premier League title race. Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland renewed their partnership to seal City’s 2-nil win over Everton at the Etihad Stadium yesterday. It was a vital win in the scheme of the Premier League for Pep Guardiola’a side and City’s dynamic duo had a big say in the final result.
Sean Dyche’s side frustrated City for the first 70 minutes yesterday. Despite dominating possession City were unable to break down the visitors. It was the goal-scoring instincts of Haaland that broke the deadlock. It was a world-class finish from City’s number 9 to open the scoring.
City’s second goal yesterday showed they may hold the aces in this season’s title race. The link-up between De Bruyne and Haaland had been missing during their absence. As Everton pressed for an equaliser in the 85th minute they left space at the back for City to counter. It was expertly exploited by De Bruyne and Haaland to seal all three points for the champions. It appeared to be a pivotal moment in yesterday’s game and the title race. With their match winners back and firing City are a different beast.

With their dynamic duo on the pitch, the world champions have two world-class players who can provide match-winning moments. Haaland and De Bruyne only need a fleeting moment to make their mark in a match as their link-up for City’s second goal showed.
As this season’s battle for the Premier League heats up City may have the ultimate ace in the pack with their dynamic duo. They have the potential to be a deciding factor in this season’s title race. If yesterday’s snippet from the pair is a sign of what’s to come City will take some stopping this season.
