Pitso raves about goal-scoring machine Erling Haaland

Haaland has made a quite stunning start to the new season for Manchester City, exceeding all expectations as he has embarked on a run of form where he seems to be quite simply scoring goals for fun.

The £51 million Norwegian took his tally for his new club to 12 in just eight matches by grabbing a goal in each half in Manchester City’s latest 4-0 win at Sevilla in the Champions League. Once again, despite only having just 19 touches of the ball all game, he still proved simply lethal in front of goal.

Haaland has scored 25 times in 20 Champions League games, a tally that now includes goals on his debuts in the competition for City, Dortmund and Red Bull Salzburg.

South Africa’s Pitso Mosimane has joined in a chorus of praise for Haaland, taking to Twitter to state how he feels the striker could go on to secure some historic records.

“When City bought him, I said to my children (two of them support Man City ), that I think he will at least score a minimum of 33 goals per season. From what you have seen so far, what do you think his goal average per game will be? Without any major injuries.”

City manager Pep Guardiola also raved about the performances of Haaland after his latest heroics.

“His numbers all his career, even previous teams, is quite similar. He has an incredible sense of goal. He has incredible numbers so we have another final on Saturday against Tottenham and hopefully he can continue scoring goals. The numbers speak for themselves. It’s not just the two goals, it’s always he’s there, always he’s there. It’s always the feeling that he could score more.”
