JAKARTA - Erling Haaland started his season at Manchester City in an extraordinary way. The Norwegian striker has scored 17 goals and provided three assists in 11 games.
Haaland, in his last game, scored three goals and provided two assists against Manchester United.
The numbers are incredible, as he is on track to breaking all possible goals in the Premier League.
In just two months, apart from scoring 14 goals in 8 games, Haaland has also scored three hat-tricks in a row at home.
Thus, he became the fastest player to score such a hat-trick in Premier League history. He did so in just 8 games, 40 less than Michael Owen.
After the game, the media wanted to know what Pep Guardiola had to say about his attackers and asked him to compare the Norwegian player to Leo Messi.
Guardiola answered outspokenly when asked if he had the same feelings as Erling felt at Barcelona with Messi.
"The difference is maybe Erling needs all his teammates, while Messi has the ability to do it himself," Guardiola insisted in a post-match press conference, quoted by Marca.
Haaland is the interim Premier League's top scorer, followed by Harry Kane who has seven goals. Phil Foden is the second-largest goalscorer for Guardiola's side with five goals.
