CITY STRIKE AT THE AMEX!
It's a great run from Oscar Bobb on the right to dance inside and find Omar Marmoush.
He takes a touch in the box that inadvertently turns into a sublime pass.
Erling Haaland doesn't need to take a touch as he pokes the ball into the net from six yards.
That is his 88th Premier League goal on his 100th appearance.
No player has scored more.

Rangers remain winless in the Scottish Premiership having drawn 0-0 with rivals Celtic.
All four of their league results have ended in a draw to leave them sixth in the table.
Boos from the Rangers fans were loud and clear at Ibrox when the full-time whistle was blown.
Gers thought they opened the scoring before half-time but John Souttar's goal was ruled out for offside.
The result will only add to the pressure on Russell Martin following their dismal Champions League exit during the week.

Could this be the turning point for Ruben Amorim?
I'm not sure how much more of this he can take.
After being dumped out of the Carabao Cup by League Two Grimsby Town, United have just about secured three points in a crazy game against Burnley.
The Clarets went fully route one in the final minutes of added-time in an attempt to get another equaliser, but the Red Devils held on as their players and fans breathed a collective sigh of relief.
But that's nothing compared to their gaffer, who - just as against Grimsby - refused to watch Fernandes step up to take his spot kick.
Get that man a stiff drink!
