Manchester City cut Arsenal’s Premier League (PL) lead to five points after Erling Haaland scored twice in a 4-1 win over bottom side Southampton, while Newcastle United edged closer to a return to the Champions League for the first time in 20 years. Haaland was at his sublime best on his return from injury and he signed off with a stunning bicycle kick that took his league tally to 30 goals in 27 games — five goals shy of breaking the Premier League record. Kevin De Bruyne also became the fastest player to notch up 100 Premier League assists (237 games) while Jack Grealish scored in successive games for the first time this season to leave Southampton four points from the safety zone.
