The Norwegian’s effort came out on top in our fan vote ahead of strikes from Phil Foden, Jeremy Doku, James McAtee, Mateo Kovacic and Vivianne Miedema.
Racing on to a ball over the top of the Chelsea defence, Haaland spotted visiting stopper Robert Sanchez off his line and lofted an effort into the net from the edge of the area.

The nonchalant celebration belied both the quality of the strike and also its significance in the game.
City had fallen behind early on to a Noni Madueke strike, but the Norwegian’s effort put our noses in front for the first time after Josko Gvardiol’s equaliser.
Haaland then set up Phil Foden to complete the scoring at the Etihad as the Blues moved above Chelsea and returned to the top four in the process.
Congratulations to Erling and thank you to everyone who voted!
