Erling Haaland says the secret to scoring so many goals for Manchester City is not to think about scoring at all. Haaland followed up his five-goal haul vs RB Leipzig this week with another hat-trick in the 6-0 win over Burnley, making it eight for the week and 42 in all competitions for the season.
Having become City's all-time top goalscorer in a single season, Haaland shows no sign of slowing and reflected on his exploits after his sixth hat-trick of the season against Burnley.
Asked if he had any target set for the season, Haaland opened up on his incredible form, saying he only scores so many goals by not concentrating on the actual act of scoring.
