Manchester City star Erling Haaland has etched his name into the Premier League history books, becoming the first player to score more than nine goals in the first four matches of a season.
Haaland, returning from the international break, scored twice against Brentford, bringing his season tally to an astounding 10 goals. The Norwegian striker first found the back of the net in the 19th minute, assisted by Kevin de Bruyne, before restoring City’s lead in the 32nd minute with a goal assisted by Ederson.
This impressive performance came after Haaland recently lost a close family friend, Ivar Eggia. Despite the grief, the striker paid tribute to the man he considered an uncle by scoring twice in his honor.
Haaland’s prolific start to the season has silenced any doubts surrounding his ability to adapt to the Premier League. His goalscoring prowess has propelled Manchester City to the top of the league table, setting the stage for a potentially historic season.
