But the home side’s lead was restored after 38 seconds when Thomas Partey’s shot took a wicked deflection of John Stones to find the side netting.
Myles Lewis-Skelly then earned his own revenge on Haaland from the reverse fixture at the Etihad by scoring a stunning goal before doing the striker’s signature celebration.
Kai Havertz completed the rout in the 76th minute as he made up for a horror first half miss.

But they reduced the gap between themselves and the Merseysiders to six points thanks to a 5-1 WIN over the visitors.
SunSport was live in attendance at the Emirates and is on hand to rate and slate the performances of Mikel Arteta’s troops.
David Raya – 7/10
Had very little to do in the first half but made a brilliant save in the 22nd minute to deny a goalbound header from Josko Gvardiol.
Made another stunning save two minutes from the half-time interval, stopping a deflected Savinho shot from close range. Powerless to stop Erling Haaland‘s 55th-minute header from briefly levelling the scores.
Jurrien Timber – 6
Didn’t offer his usual attacking threat going forward but was solid defensively. Picked up a pointless yellow breaking up a harmless counter-attack in the 24th minute. Almost scored late in the second half.
William Saliba – 5
Didn’t have much to do in the first half but won all of his aerial battles. Marshalled the defence well in the second but was embarrassingly outjumped and outmuscled by Haaland for City’s equaliser.

Continues to endear himself to the Emirates faithful with composure and tenacity beyond his years.
Floated brilliantly between left back and midfield when required.

Combative, as always, in the middle of the park and played a role in the home side breaking the deadlock, teeing up Havertz who squared the ball to Odegaard.
Leandro Trossard – 6
Was particularly lively on the left in the first half, giving Matheus Nunes a real run for his money. His end product, however, wasn’t the best.

Gabriel Martinelli – 6
Lively on the right wing in the early goings. Found the back of the net in the 5th minute after some beautiful play from Odegaard but was needlessly offside.
Forced a good save out of Ortega with a rasping effort in the 68th minute.
Kai Havertez – 6
Lively early doors, testing Stefan Ortega with a tame shot in the first minute. Teed up Odegaard for a tap in a few moments later.
Missed a golden opportunity to double the lead in the 25th minute, dragging the ball wide with the goal at his absolute mercy.
Made amends for his howler by finishing an even harder chance in the 76th minute.

THIS is the brainteaser that asks you to find what’s wrong with this man’s otherwise delightful morning stroll.
Everyone can see the gent walking across the bridge, but only those with a high IQ can spot the mistake in the image in seven seconds.
jagran joshCan you spot the mistake in this serene scene?[/caption]
This teaser is tricky because there isn’t a lot going on in the background of the image to spot.
The lack of detail in what is there also complicates things, because nothing jumps out as being wrong immediately in the picture.
It makes for quite a simple image that doesn’t give you an obvious place to begin your search.
For example, the plain nature of the sky and the horizon behind the man means there aren’t many obvious mistakes that could be there.
It means that you might have to look for more obscure elements of the brainteaser that are hidden in plain sight.
The key to this one is to focus on the area behind the man.
Are you ready, because the clock is ticking!
If you’re still struggling, a hint would be to pay attention to the flow of the water.
People who are able to solve the puzzle quickly possess good observational skills and high cognitive speed.
It tests your ability to process a high volume of visual information and the ability to concentrate under high amounts of pressure.
How can optical illusions and brainteasers help me?
Engaging in activities like solving optical illusions and brainteasers can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various brain regions.
Some benefits include:
Cognitive stimulation: Engaging in these activities challenges the brain, promoting mental agility and flexibility.
Problem-solving skills: Regular practice enhances analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
Memory improvement: These challenges often require memory recall and can contribute to better memory function.
Creativity: They encourage thinking outside the box, fostering creativity and innovative thought processes.
Focus and attention: Working on optical illusions and brainteasers requires concentration, contributing to improved focus.
Stress relief: The enjoyable nature of these puzzles can act as a form of relaxation and stress relief.
Psychologists at The University of Glasgow found that staring at an optical illusion can improve eye sight by allowing you to see small print.
Escape London says puzzles can also give your mind a great workout and may “boost your brain’s activity” which “reduces the risk of dementia.”
These can help to stimulate several parts of the brain at the same time.
Tasks like this can also provide people with a productive way to have fun and relax.

ONE Formula One team has huge potential to “blow up” this season after a host of driver changes across the grid.
Only McLaren and Aston Martin have retained the same driver lineup from the 2024 grid to this season.
PAOllie Bearman could be part of an F1 team that ‘blows up’ this season[/caption]
RexOne journalist believes Esteban Ocon could be a disruptive presence[/caption]
But according to F1 journalist Ben Anderson, Haas in particular could be facing a rocky road ahead.
That is because he believes Esteban Ocon, who moved to the team from Alpine, could clash with British rookie Ollie Bearman.
Bearman, 19, raced in three F1 races last season, replacing Carlos Sainz at Ferrari and later Kevin Magnussen in two races at Haas.
However, it is believed that Ocon’s less-than glittering record in getting on with team-mates could cause an “explosion” at the team.
Speaking on The Race F1 Extrapodcast, he said: “Bearman and Ocon, definitely has major potential I think to blow up.
“Pretty much because of Ocon’s long history of not getting on that well with his team-mates.
“I think Bearman is a really exciting talent, someone who probably will end up replacing Lewis [Hamilton] at Ferrari in the future, has some edge to him and I suspect will be quick enough to give Ocon some serious trouble.
“And I think at that point it becomes all about how Ocon reacts and history suggests that he won’t react that well to being given trouble by his team-mate.

“And I think already Haas are kind of a bit worried about that aspect so I imagine Ayao Komatsu will be big on rules of engagement for his drivers going into this season.”
Ocon, 28, previously had bad blood with Pierre Gasly, but seemed to have put any issues under the bridge while the pair were at Alpine.
The Frenchman had also not seen eye-to-eye with Fernando Alonso when they publicly fell out when he was his team-mate prior to Gasly.
Following the move in 2023, Ocon said: “I was disappointed by Fernando [Alonso]’s comments that came out in the press and internally.
“We didn’t really have a discussion, within the team, about all that. I think it’s good that he’s leaving [for Aston Martin] and that we do our part as we should.”
Alonso later called Ocon “immature” after their collision at the 2023 Brazilian Grand Prix.
The 2025 season kicks off at the Australian Grand Prix in March.

5 days agoLatest NewsComments Off on The 1% Club fans brand final question ‘easiest ever’ as contestants fail to win £96k – but would you have got it right?
FANS of The 1% Club were left baffled as contestants failed to win a whopping £96,000 after getting the ‘easiest ever’ question wrong.
Viewers tuned in for the latest instalment of Lee Mack‘s ITV hit, which aired on Saturday.
ITVThe 1% Club fans have branded one question the ‘easiest ever’[/caption]
ITVThe remaining four contestants were asked: “The words below share a specific pattern. Why could VOTING also be part of the group?”[/caption]
ITVEach word contained the names of metals[/caption]
It sees 100 contestants compete for a £100,000 prize pot by answering 15 logic-inspired questions that get progressively harder.
It kicks off with a question which 90 per cent of the population polled got right.
It then goes on to ask questions which smaller and smaller percentages of the country got right, culminating with a 1% question.
And this week there was five contestants left, vying to answer the final 1% Club question correctly.
They were given a choice of taking £10k home, which would see them all walk away with £2,000 or take on the question.
One player called Christoper decided to take his share and bow out, while the rest played on.
They were asked: “The words below share a specific pattern. Why could VOTING also be part of the group?'”
The words listed were Bandleader, Nickelodeo and Silverback.
While only one contestant attempted to answer the question, they got it wrong, meaning nobody took home cash.
Host Lee, 56, revealed that each word contained a metal – including lead, nickel, silver and tin.
Following the loss, ITV viewers at home branded the question the ‘easiest ever’ and flooded social media with comments.
One said: “That was the easiest 1% question I can remember. Thought it must be wrong as it couldn’t be that easy. Amazed not one of them had a clue.”
A second wrote: “Got this within five seconds was far too easy with silver and nickel as the start of the words and tin being the only other word in voting.”
“My 12-year-old got this. Metals in the words,” said a third.
While a fourth posted: “That seemed a pretty easy 1% Question to me?!”
Hardest Quiz Show Questions
Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire – Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the “worst” question in the show’s history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: “From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?” The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000.
The 1% Club – Viewers of Lee Mack’s popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: “Edna’s birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen’s birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir’s birthday must be the ‘X’ of January.” It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir’s birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence.
The Chase – The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: “Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?” The options were – sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots – with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes.
