Who can stop Erling Haaland? The weekends follow one another and are similar for the serial scorer of Manchester City, but no opponent seems, today, able to stop the Norwegian cyborg. Once again decisive, this Saturday, during the Skyblues' victory (2-0) against Everton, the former Molde and Dortmund player continues to shine. Established by Pep Guardiola at the forefront of the Mancunian attack, the 25-year-old striker once again delighted the residents of the Etihad Stadium.
Hanging on by the Toffees for almost an hour of play, the Cityzens finally, once again, entrusted their destiny to their attacking leader. On a precise cross from O'Reilly, the Norwegian international (46 caps, 51 goals) first freed his team with a dive header (58th) before scoring a double five minutes later with a first-intention left strike (63rd). A new achievement allowing the Leeds native to bring his total to 11 goals in the Premier League, consolidating his status as top scorer.
23 goals in 13 matches…
Always as clinical in front of goal, the 1.95 left-hander, very close to the hat-trick at the end of the match, has an eleventh consecutive match by finding the net (double against Everton, hat-trick and assist against Israel, scorer against Brentford, double against Monaco, double and an assist against Burnley, scorer against Arsenal, scorer against Naples, double against Manchester United, quadruple and an assist against Moldova, scorer against Finland and scorer against Brighton).
Author of 23 goals and 3 goals in 13 matches in all competitions (club + selection), Haaland allows Manchester City to temporarily regain the lead in the English championship. An impressive series confirming, moreover, the chilling realism of the Skyblues number 9 in front of goal. As a reminder, Erling Haaland, already author of such a performance during the 2022-2023 and 2024-2025 financial years, is the only player to have scored 10 goals or more in the first 8 Premier League matches of the season…
