In just six Premier League games, Erling Haaland has already broken a record for the league.
In addition to giving him another piece of history, his nine goals in his first five games including two consecutive hat-tricks have also dispelled any doubts about his preparedness for the Premier League.
The Norwegian was seen as a superstar that the Premier League simply wasn’t accustomed to when he arrived in England, and his early performances have amply supported this.
Any worries about the 22-year-old youngster having to adapt to City’s style have vanished because goals just seem to find him.
Manchester City’s strategy has not changed. Haaland is patient, just like the build-up play. He has retained his position in the penalty area since his presence opens up opportunities elsewhere. He has waited for the opportunities while being confident that they would arrive.
With the kind of form Erling Haaland is exhibiting now, he is going to overtake Sergio Aguero’s 260 goals for City (389 appearances).
