Erling Haaland

Manchester City beat Southampton 4-0 in the Premier League on Saturday to move top of the table before Arsenal face Liverpool on Sunday.

You have to be very brave, we did it two times in the first half and gave them chances. "It's better to be early there and go early. It's fine, after three days a game, the players react and behave again like who they are." In the end he was there to score it. He helped to keep the ball, fight. He said: "In general we played good, a team we struggled [against] last season, every time we played them.

City have been in record-breaking form this season, with Haaland's start to his Premier League career setting new standards for goalscoring. The record was previously set by Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1959, with the Midlands side recording nine successive matches at Molineux in which they scored more than three goals. The Norwegian has broken the record for the most goals scored in his first 10 games with 15 goals already in nine games and is on track to break the league scoring record comfortably.

Erling Haaland has already broke multiple goal-scoring records at Manchester City and in the Champions League, and he's on course to smash many more.

Haaland is likely looking at breaking the record for most goals in a Premier League season. Haaland also broke a record that was just broken, becoming the youngest player in the Champions League to score 25 goals (22 years, 47 days). The Norwegian also has a handful of Champions League records to his name. He has also become the first player to score in his first four away games in the Premier League, scoring at the London Stadium against West Ham, St. It's an incredible weapon for us, a big threat. "He scored a brilliant goal.

City’s victory over Southampton propelled them to the top of the table for the first time this season, and it remains the only unbeaten side in all four of England’s top divisions. No-one can name anyone that is anything like him. “He didn’t score three goals so that’s why the petition to sack him from the Premier League isn’t going to happen.” He is quite ridiculous. Following this dominance, and his hattrick against Manchester United last weekend – his third consecutive hattrick – opposition fans jokingly set up a petition to ban him “because it’s just not fair.” [Manchester City](https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/02/football/manchester-city-united-erling-haaland-spt-intl/index.html)’s 4-0 win over Southampton on Saturday, [Haaland](https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/03/sport/erling-haaland-manchester-derby-premier-league-spt-intl/index.html) shattered yet another record, becoming the fastest player to score 15 English Premier League goals.

Erling Haaland is not the best striker the Premier League has ever seen and this season's title race is far from over.That's the view of talkSPORT hos.

“They’re fantastic [City] but I completely disagree that the league is over. I don’t agree with Erling Haland is the best striker we’ve ever seen in the Premier League because I just think that is sensationalist nonsense that does no service to the history of this great league,” Goldbridge told talkSPORT. “I don’t agree with this is the best Premier League side ever, I don’t agree with the title race is over.

Guimaraes was also a thorn in Brentford's side when they were able to take the ball off him. The last time Leicester lost a Premier League game when winning at half-time was here at Bournemouth in July 2020, when they ended up being thumped 4-1. Had it been a different story, he may not have received such a warm reception from the Chelsea faithful when subbed off in the second half. Potter made it clear in his post-match press conference that getting that balance of minutes right is crucial, both for the success on the pitch and the morale in the dressing room. On the evidence at Bournemouth, Leicester are not in a false position because without leadership in this league, away venues can be a very lonely place. That was not always evident during the previous campaign but their strength in depth was plain to see on Saturday, as a much-changed line-up swept aside Wolves. But the gulf to the quality Graham Potter could call upon was enormous. To the backdrop of an empty stadium, the players were undertaking their first post-match fitness duties since the passing of their guru. There was an eerie silence as the nine substitutes were put through their paces by two members of the coaching staff. It was hard not to get emotional walking down the steps from the press box at the Amex, long after the final whistle had gone and witness the Spurs substitutes doing their warm down. The supporters seemed a little bemused by it, so accustomed have they become to seeing him score. Even the club stuck him on the front page of the programme for this one.

Klopp is backing Salah to rediscover his form but says comparisons with Haaland are pointless given his stunning start at Man CIty.

You might find it if you watch the game back but from that moment on we were able to play football. "There were times were Mo defended the half-spaces, won the ball back from the opponents and it was a great situation and it showed what we had to do. "We need to perform as a team and make sure everyone can perform as the best version of themselves and that is the idea around the whole thing. "With Mo it's like it is with us," Klopp said. Call him in 20 years and it will be the same, that cannot change. If this team defends on its highest level, we are able to play some good football. With Mo it is like this: Even if his goalscoring numbers aren't crazy, it's always about how often he is involved in the offensive situations. But it's not about that, you can say what you like about Mo Salah and you can say 'is he having a great season?' but it's like so many others. It's just the problem that if you don't score around that then nobody appreciates that. I don't anyway, so it's all fine." That has never changed. It means I see little things as well, so for me it's fine.

"There is a long way to go," he said after scoring the only goal of the game in Spurs' 1-0 win at Brighton on Saturday.

Several tongue-in-cheek Change.org petitions have been launched following the Manchester City forward's start to the season.

This issue must be dealt with in order to protect the mental health of millions in our society. This robot should not be allowed to carry on in our country.” The petition has been signed by 646 people so far. He shows up out of the blue, and consistently ruins the weekends of the hardworking people of this great nation.

Liverpool FC forward Salah is usually near the top of the scoring charts, but the arrival of Haaland has changed that.

From a position inside the City bubble, it's easy to get carried away and wrapped up in the whole narrative of Haaland and his goals. "With Mo, I hope he is close to exploding. Having already scored 15 league goals in nine outings - seven more than next highest scorer Harry Kane - the race for the Golden Boot appears to be done and dusted after just two months of the season.

Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland seemed to have formed a great friendship since the latter joined from Borussia Dortmund.But the two seem to not be se.

But it’s off the pitch, too, that the pair have formed somewhat of a bromance, with Grealish often filming his teammate on his TikTok.

If the game-altering ability of Erling Haaland is not maddening enough, it turns out he has gravitational pull as well. With too many being drawn to him is ...

'Vincent was the best defender in the Premier League and being compared to him is a big honour. He strikes fear into those tasked with sticking to him and it can disorganise a defence to such a degree that Phil Foden is left alone to dink in, or Riyad Mahrez is wondering where his marker is and slaps home in their absence. Liverpool are next in the league and City head to Anfield with just one senior full back. It is two more than David Silva and they built a statue of him at the Etihad. He is seven behind Frank Lampard now and that could be usurped by January at this rate. And the problem with too many being drawn to him is obvious — one of the others in [Manchester City](/sport/teampages/manchester-city.html) blue will see you off instead.

Pundits have continued to praise Erling Haaland after he scored yet another goal in Manchester City's 4-0 win over Southampton.

Cole said of Ronaldo: 'It is a massive achievement to do it the way he has done it. 'The variety of goals and the way he plays is perfect for him ,there aren’t enough of that type of striker that current defenders are used to. Haaland may score as many goals but will he have the quality? He added: 'I did think there would be a transitional period, but that hasn’t been the case. People said he was only doing it in Germany.'
