Three goals. Three more goals. Erling Haaland has no intention of stopping. After winning it all with Manchester City last year, contributing 53 goals to the Treble in all competitions in his first season in England, the Norwegian striker has picked up where he left off. Haaland has already scored six goals in the first four Premier League matches, with the last three coming in the afternoon as Citizens crashed Fulham 5-1 at the Etihad.

Last Saturday, the Cottagers blocked Arsenal up 2-2 at the Emirates, and in the first half they proved to be a tough team, even for the all-time champions: Alvarez opened the ball with an assist from Haaland, Ream equalized two minutes later, Aké brings Guardiola forward in full recovery and then, in the second half, the Norwegian cyclone hits the guests.
Two goals and a converted penalty to end the practice and remain at the top of the standings with full points, but also to continue breaking every possible record for a Premier striker.
Yes, because against Fulham Haaland became the player who took the least number of games (39) to score at least 40 goals, 42 to be precise, in the Premier League, just as, last year, he became the youngest always reaching 35. But that’s not all. Including assists, most recently the one provided by Julian Alvarez in the first half against Fulham, Haaland has been involved in 51 total goals for Manchester City in 39 league games. And also in this case it is the player who has taken the fewest games ever to be involved in at least 50 goals. The previous record belonged to Andy Cole, who had spent 43 matches. And to think that there are still those who reproach him for not participating sufficiently in the team’s game. Yet the numbers never lie.
