Erling Haaland chasing five new records as Pep Guardiola gives massive support

Erling Haaland has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water – and could smash goalscoring records in this league

Manchester City knew Erling Haaland was good… but nine goals in his opening five games have blown the league apart.

Those comments of only being able to do it in a farmer’s league have certainly quietened down. The super Scandi striker has been clinical for City, taking minimal touches but converting everything that falls at his feet – and he’s already the early favorite for the Golden Boot.

Well, of course, he is. But he could well end up breaking plenty of records along the way
