With his two goals, Haaland achieved the remarkable feat of scoring two or more goals in four consecutive Premier League home games, matching the records of legends like Luis Suárez and Robbie Fowler.

Both of Haaland's goals originated from the new signing, Rayane Cherki, delivering exquisite through balls that penetrated Bournemouth's high defensive line. This highlights how Bournemouth's aggressive tactics (high press) backfired.

Specifically, as indicated by xG, City's "execution ability" in converting chances was the deciding factor.

Bournemouth attempted to overcome City with high pressing and possession, but City countered this by leveraging the clinical finishing of their star striker and sharpness in transition to score efficiently.
