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.
” Haaland had the chances again. He scored a brilliant goal. It’s an incredible weapon for us, a big threat. I am so satisfied,” said City coach Pep Guardiola
“We will see the result from Arsenal and Liverpool, always in the Premier League there are good games.
“Being close to the top of the league is important going into the World Cup.”
