Everton boss Sean Dyche concedes the class of Erling Haaland made the difference for Manchester City yesterday.

A late Haaland brace saw City win 2-0.

"That's why he is who he is," said Toffees manager Dyche. "He doesn't have many touches some games, but he scores. That's the key.

"I must say, his finish for the first one, there is no thought. I've been speaking to our players recently, and there's a growing thing about footballers scoring trendy goals - whippers and dippers - but he didn't think about that.

"Just score a goal, that's the trendiest thing you will ever do, and Erling showed that today - he just went 'bang'. It was good technique, he smashes it, and he wasn't worried about anything else."
