Erling Haaland scored his 15th goal of the Premier League season – his 20th in 13 games for Manchester City in all competitions – in City’s defeat of Southampton on Saturday, breaking yet another record.
Haaland ‘s second-half strike – a snap finish following Joao Cancelo’s cut-back – extended his scoring run to seven consecutive Premier League games, something no City player has ever done before.
The goal showcased the 22-year-old’s insatiable hunger and elite mentality, as in the moments before he had fluffed two relatively simple – by his standards – chances. It looked like he might draw his first blank since the 4-0 defeat of Bournemouth back in August, but Haaland was having none of it.
On Twitter, City fans could barely contain their excitement and delight at Haaland continuing his remarkable start to the season.
