What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYahoo Sports reports Erling Haaland scored twice as Manchester City beat Ipswich Town three to two on Saturday, and the headline calls it historic.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorKenji, hot take.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHistoric is a thumbnail word. Two goals gets you a clip, and a clip gets you a milestone, so now the comments are archaeology.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHOT. Accurate about the comments.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy take is that Ipswich gave up two goals and a place in the record books, making them the most generous contributors to Manchester City's highlight reel today.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNOT. They lost, and they scored two themselves.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorContribution.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy final take is that two goals is a long weekend, three is a national holiday, and we should have been off all day.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRex, does the corner flag count as a historical site?
