The Norwegian raced on to the ball but miscued his first-time effort, sending it deep into the South Stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our No.9 got behind the Liverpool defensive line again just a few minutes later and squared for Cole&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mancity.com\/players\/cole-palmer\">Palmer<\/a>, but the Academy graduate couldn\u2019t divert his strike goalwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>City sliced through Liverpool\u2019s defence at will in the opening exchanges and it appeared only a matter of time before the deadlock was broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was no surprise when the goal did come, with just 10 minutes on the clock, that it was via the deadly partnership of Kevin&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mancity.com\/players\/kevin-de-bruyne\">De Bruyne<\/a>&nbsp;and Haaland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
