– What a magical match we are witnessing. Seasoned Viaplay commentator Vidar Stokke could hardly believe what he saw in Sunday’s Premier League match in Newcastle. The hosts wreaked havoc at times with Manchester City and Erling Braut Haaland. At one point, last year’s league champion under 1-3 was away at St. James’ Park. But barely an hour into the match, the super striker from Bryne and the rest of the light blue star gallery woke up. Started the pick-up Then Haaland – as so many times before – was in the right place at the right time and thumped the ball into the goal from five metres. – Haaland knocks it in at St. James’ Park. His third in the Premier League. All three have been scored away from home – this one is important, shouted Stokke. Gary Lineker was also impressed by the Norwegian. – Haaland scores again. What a fight. This is Premier League football at its best, he wrote on Twitter. Just four minutes later, the two teams were level again when Bernardo scored City’s third of the day. The Portuguese star received a wonderful pass from captain Kevin De Bruyne and made no mistake alone against Nick Pope in the Newcastle goal. But there were no more scores. The match ended 3 – 3 – a result Pep Guardiola is unlikely to be particularly happy with. – Although City are certainly disappointed that they did not win, it is very strong to come back in the way they are doing today. It shows strength, Eirik Bakke summarized in the Viaplay studio after the match. UNFINISHED: Manchester City and Newcastle shared the points in a wild encounter.

The Norwegian got off to a sparkling start to his Premier League career when he single-handedly lowered West Ham with two goals in the 2-0 win in early August. DREAM DEBUT: Erling Braut Haaland scored two in his debut away to West Ham earlier in August.

The big talking point after the Bournemouth game was that Haaland only touched the ball eight times. He made two passes: One created a goal. The second was from kick-off. Against Newcastle, he didn’t just score a goal – he also had significantly more involvements during the 90 minutes he played. Next weekend, Crystal Palace awaits City and Haaland at home in Manchester.
