Erling Haaland Nears Another Premier League All-Time Record

Erling Haaland to Make Premier League History Again

Haaland opened the scoring in the 29th minute, assisted by Matheus Nunes. Just before the end of the first half, Nico Gonzales made it 2-0, assisted by Bernardo Silva. The rout was sealed in the 63rd minute with a goal from Jeremy Doku, with an assist from Nico O'Reilly.

Pep Guardiola’s team surprised by beating and thrashing the Reds, but the match was not without controversy.

By the 39th minute, Liverpool had tied it. Mohamed Salah had assisted Virgil van Dijk, who shot with power and beat Gianluigi Donnarumma.

The assistant referee stopped the visiting team’s celebrations, and after a VAR review, they disallowed what could have been the equalizing goal.

“Replays show Robertson ducking out of the way of Van Dijk’s goalbound header there, but the Scot was in the eyeline of Donnarumma and so the initial decision to rule the goal out will stand,” can be read on FotMob.

This result keeps Manchester City in second place on the table with 22 points after 11 games, only behind Arsenal (26 points).

Haaland and the citizens will try to continue closing in on the Gunners next November 22, when, after the international break, they visit Newcastle United at St. James Park for matchday 12 of the Premier League.
