LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester City goal machine Erling Haaland reached yet another milestone in his incredible debut season in the Premier League when his two goals helped his side to beat Leicester City 3-1 and move to within three points of leaders Arsenal on Saturday.
The Norwegian's brace took his tally to 32 goals for the season, equalling the record total for a 38-game season, with reigning champions City still having eight league games remaining.
Southampton's 10-year stay in the top flight is in grave danger of ending as the bottom club went down 2-0 at home to almost-safe Crystal Palace for whom Eberechi Eze scored twice to maintain Roy Hodgson's 100% record since taking charge.Wolverhampton Wanderers hoisted themselves further clear of the relegation zone with a 2-0 home win against Brentford.
"The game was tricky in the last 20 minutes. But the first 55, 60 minutes was good," Pep Guardiola, who racked up his 150th home win in charge of City, said. Newcastle were beaten for only the fourth time in the league this season as Ollie Watkins scored twice in a comfortable win for Villa who have won five in a row to move into sixth place in the table. Jacob Ramsey gave Villa the lead with Watkins sealing the points after halftime.
