– No matter how he hits the ball, no matter what he does, the ball goes in, Viasat commentator Kasper Wikestad concluded when Haaland scored 2-0 for City. The Norwegian continues to do exactly as he wants on the ball island. On Saturday, he was almost invisible for the first 15 minutes against Wolverhampton, but then it exploded at the Molineux Stadium: Haaland received the ball and accelerated against a retreating Wolves defence. From 17 meters he knocked the ball into the left corner with his right leg – behind a José Sá in full stretch. JUMPING HAPPY: Erling Braut Haaland now stands with eleven goals in the league.

But Haaland probably cares very little about that. – Haaland is again “the main man”, but the rest of the team also delivers solid, summarized Visat expert Tor Ole Skullerud towards the end of the match. Manchester City eventually won the match 3–0 after goals from Jack Grealish and Phil Foden, in addition to Haaland. After Saturday’s scoring, Haaland has eleven goals in the Premier League. Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic is next on the top scorer list with six goals. PLAYING: Erling Braut Haaland continues to wreak havoc in front of goal.

What a beast Haaland is. Score goals in all possible ways, and the bookmakers can soon pay a profit to those who have tipped Haaland as top scorer in the Premier League this season, writes TV 2 expert Jesper Mathisen on Twitter. Former top scorer Gary Lineker continues to amaze. – Haaland moves one goal closer to Alan Shearer’s goal record in the Premier League, he writes on Twitter. Alan Shearer holds the record in the Premier League with 260 goals. Haaland has erased records in almost every game he has played this season, and Saturday’s match was no exception: the Norwegian is now the first in history to score in his first four away games in the Premier League, according to Opta. With a total of 14 goals in 824 minutes, the Norwegian averages one goal per 59 minutes he has played for Manchester City. In the Premier League, the average is all the way down to one goal per 52nd minute. MARKING: In the 70th minute, the match came to a halt while both the crowd and players gave a minute’s applause for the recently deceased Queen Elizabeth. Photo: PETER POWELL / Reuters Named player of the month Haaland’s display comes just a few hours after the 22-year-old was named – as the first Norwegian in history – to be player of the month in the Premier League. Haaland received the award for his achievements in August. At the press conference after the award ceremony, City manager Pep Guardiola found the big words to describe what it’s like to have Haaland in the team. – He is a perfect person, and a nice guy. That is the most important thing. He had the quality before he came here. He has continued to do what he has done before, we have not added a lot of things, explains Guardiola.
