The Incredible Record of Erling Haaland This Season With Manchester City and Norway

The Norwegian forward shines again with another record at the start of the season

A devastating start

Erling Haaland is in that demolishing mode we already know. The Norwegian is having a simply brutal start to the season with 9 goals in 8 matches this season between Manchester City and Norway. He has scored in 6 consecutive matches and has 3 doubles this season (Porto, Crystal Palace, and Denmark). He only failed to score in the first two of the year (vs. Arsenal and Bournemouth).

The goal that is worth gold

If there is a goal that summarizes his specific power, it is the one he scored against Manchester United in the derby at Old Trafford. It was the only goal in City's victory, in a match shrouded in refereeing controversy. There, when the team needed it most and in the hottest setting, he appeared.

Historical record

With his goal against Denmark, he reached 64 goals with Norway (in 56 matches), surpassing Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the top Nordic scorer and also surpassing Ronaldo Nazario's 62. At this pace, the question is no longer whether he will break records, but how many he will leave in his wake.
