Erling Haaland hits 300th goal in Manchester City rout of Juventus at Club World Cup
Group G: Juventus 2-5 Manchester City
Koopmeiners 11, Vlahovic 84; Doku 9, Kalulu 26og, Haaland 52, Foden 69, Savinho 75
Erling Haaland’s 300th career strike graced this canter of a victory, while Savinho’s 75th-minute peach lit up a Manchester City display that will be noted by the other big guns aiming to claim the inaugural 32-team Club World Cup.
The Brazilian’s 20-yard shot pinballed off the bar to make it 5-1 and confirm that Juventus would lose and finish second. So while Pep Guardiola’s men remain in search of their smoothest rhythms, topping Group G is a fine feat and whoever they face here on Monday will not relish their task.
