Erling Haaland: How many touches does Man City star have per goal?

Erling Braut Haaland‘s start to life as a Manchester City player has been nothing short of outrageous.

In the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund, the Norwegian striker bagged goals for fun (62 in 67 games), although many thought he’d be unable to replicate the level of prolificacy on English soil.

But every single Haaland doubter has been proven conclusively wrong.

After his first eight Premier League games, the 22-year-old’s goal tally stands at 14, which is quite frankly ridiculous.

Haaland’s added three more to his total in City’s 6-3 win over fierce rivals Manchester United on Sunday, his third Premier League hat-trick in a row at the Etihad.

No other player in the division’s history has achieved that extraordinary goalscoring feat.

What makes Haaland’s record in the Premier League thus far even more frightening is the level of efficiency he’s achieved.

In terms of fewest touches per goal since 2011/12 in the English top-tier, City’s new talisman is so far ahead of the rest it’s almost a joke.

Jamie Vardy was the previous top dog, but Haaland’s record in the department makes the Leicester City man’s look bang average in comparison – when in reality, it’s anything but.
