Story summary

Erling Haaland scored two goals for Manchester City in their 3-2 victory against Ipswich on October 17, 2026. Despite manager Enzo Maresca considering resting Haaland due to his recent heavy schedule, he played a full 90 minutes and scored a brace, bringing his goal tally for the season to 15 across club and country matches. Haaland had previously played in all four of Norway’s Nations League fixtures and against Liverpool last weekend before facing Ipswich. Despite scoring twice, Haaland limped off the field at the end of the match, raising concerns about his fitness. The win maintained Manchester City's perfect start to the season under Maresca, keeping them six points ahead of Arsenal in the league standings.
