Going bananas: Haaland keeps on scoring as scandal-hit Man City wins again in Premier League

LONDON: (Oct 19) The ongoing financial scandal enveloping Manchester City isn’t affecting the team’s results in the Premier League.

Or Erling Haaland’s appetite for scoring goals.

Playing in front of fans waving inflatable bananas, City became only the third team to open a Premier League season with seven straight wins by beating Ipswich 3-2 at home on Saturday. Haaland netted twice to move to a competition-high eight goals for a campaign being played under a cloud of controversy.
