Manchester City began their Premier League their title defence with a two nil win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Haaland opened the scoring with a dinked finish over Robert Sanchez for his ninety-first City goal since joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2022.
Former Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic made the game safe late on with a curling shot from just outside the penalty area.
Nicolas Jackson thought he had equalised after City goalkeeper Ederson fumbled Cole Palmer’s shot into his path, but the forward had just strayed offside.
In another game, Brentford beat Crystal Palace two goals to one.
