Erling Haaland might have fallen just short of more history on Saturday, but he is well on his way to making more.

The 24-year-old sensation scored two first-half goals in Manchester City's 2-1 win over Brentford on Saturday. With the brace, Haaland has now racked up nine goals this season — after just four games.

Unfortunately, Haaland fell short of his third consecutive hat trick — by a post, to be specific. A shot from Haaland in the 81st minute almost gave him the milestone, but it hit the left post and kept him at a brace.
