Erling Haaland opened the score in the 34th minute. With that goal, Reijnders already took care of the beautiful pre -assistant. Three minutes later, the attacking midfielder from Zwolle himself signed for the second goal by shooting his left leg nicely.

It was not possible, because in the second half the Oranje-international achieved Haaland with the 3-0. The Norwegian goalfetter scored after an hour. What a debut for Reijnders, who was widely praised on social media.

Reijnders came over from AC Milan for about 55 million euros last summer. He played for two years for the Italian top club. Before that, Reijnders was active for AZ for years. In 2017 he made his Eredivisie debut for PEC Zwolle.

Ten minutes before time, Rayan Cherki also scored a goal for City that wants the title in the Premier League after a year. Last season, Pep Guardiola’s football machine had to bow deep for Liverpool and also for number two Arsenal.
