City set up a set against Ipswich and Haaland celebrates his renewal with a goal
Haaland celebrates his renewal with a goal and now Pep's men are fourth in the table
In a very turbulent season, Manchester City has gone six games without losing (four wins and two draws in all competitions) and that is already news.
And it is also true that City are regaining their goal-scoring instinct with the set they have inflicted on a very weak Ipswich this Sunday, who could only pray that Pep’s team would not put any more balls in their goal. An Ipswich that ends Sunday in relegation.

The goals for the reigning English champions were fairly evenly distributed, with three goals in each half, and with just one scorer, Phil Foden, who was named MVP of the match for his two goals in the 27th and 42nd minutes. Kovacic, Doku, McAtee and Haaland also scored, the latter celebrating his lifelong renewal with that goal, which made it 0-5, and with a celebration in which he kissed the badge that will represent him , in theory, for the rest of his career.
City had a peaceful day in the match, in which they also began to recover players for the cause. Ruben Dias returned today after a month on the sidelines, and Ederson and Doku were again starters. Mateus Nunes was at left-back and Foden also recovered his best form: six goals in the last six games and scoring for the third consecutive Premier League game.
This victory does not put City in the fight for the title, which is a long way off (Liverpool are 12 points ahead with a game in hand), but it does put them in the fight for the Champions League spots. City are fourth, tied with fifth (Newcastle) , and considering that the fifth could also go, in the Premier League, to the Champions League for the two extra places that UEFA gives to the two best Leagues.
