Very discreet, Erling Haaland did not score during the Community Shield between Manchester City and Arsenal (won by the Gunners on penalties), Sunday at Wembley. As in the 3 finals played by Pep Guardiola’s team last season…
Thirteen balloons hit in 64 minutes, no shots attempted. This is the meager individual record of Erling Haaland during the Community Shield between Manchester City and Arsenal, Sunday at Wembley. Cole Palmer, who replaced the Norwegian crack, opened the scoring with a magnificent shot from the left (77th), but Leandro Trossard equalized after additional time (101st) and the Gunners won on penalties ( 4-1).
If he had an exceptional last season with 52 goals in 52 matches in all competitions with the formation of Pep Guardiola, Haaland was singled out for his discretion during major events, especially at the end of the season.
Worst current series!
Thus, the 23-year-old left-hander did not score in the Community Shield 2022, nor in the semi-finals and final of the FA Cup and even less in the two semi-finals and the final of the Champions League won by the Cityzens. It is therefore 7 matches without a goal in the semi-final or final with Man City.
Awkward or unlucky in front of goal, but also deprived of a penalty, Haaland now remains in 6 official matches without scoring with Manchester City. This is his worst career streak since leaving Norway in 2018 (he played for Salzburg then Borussia Dortmund).
