Erling Haaland has now scored 4,798 goals with just 86 touches for Manchester City. At least that is what it feels like. The terrifying striker netted a brace in his new club’s 4-0 win over Sevilla, taking him to an incredible 12 goals in seven appearances across all competitions this campaign.
What we’re seeing here is maximum efficiency. Haaland may only touch the ball a limited amount of times per game, as highlighted by OptaJoe, but he is always working the defence. His movement and turn of speed stop centre-backs from committing to challenges they would usually step forward to make.
