Erling Haaland spotted helping ref in brilliant clip from Man City 5-0 Copenhagen
Erling Haaland is on a mission to break every goalscoring record in the book right now.
Now that the 22-year-old has been placed at the head of a truly world-class team for the first time in his career, you can’t help but feel as though there really is no ceiling to what he can achieve.
Such is the production line of creativity and chances at Manchester City that Haaland is practically up to his ears with the exact kind of opportunities that he gobbles up for breakfast.
With the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Joao Cancelo, Phil Foden and countless others peppering the penalty area with incisive passes, it’s no wonder that Haaland is gorging himself on goals.
The Norwegian phenomena already has the goalscoring record for a 38-game Premier League season in his crosshair having opened up with 14 strikes from just eight matches in the division.
And he’s been just as lethal in the Champions League, opening his account with a brace at Sevilla before punishing former side Borussia Dortmund with an acrobatic winner.
As such, nobody was surprised at all to see that Haaland was anything short of deadly when Copenhagen made the trip to the Etihad Stadium for City’s latest European clash.
The ex-Red Bull Salzburg forward opened the scoring after just seven minutes with a lethal right-footed finish, before doubling his money by dispatching a rebound from a Sergio Gómez strike.
And with that, Pep Guardiola decided to bring him off at half-time as part of a tactical substitution, therefore locking in Haaland’s record at an unbelievable 19 goals in 12 games for the time being.
