Erling Haaland’s goal against Aston Villa made him the joint fasted to 10 league goals in the Premier League.
MANCHESTER CITY PLAY SPURS NEXT – BET NOW
Following back to back hat-tricks, the Manchester City star was tipped for a potential third on the weekend but came up against a well organised Villa defence.
The Norway star managed to break the deadlock but Leon Bailey equalised much to the relief of Steven Gerrard, who was facing calls for his job following a slow start to the campaign.
Despite the draw, there was something to celebrate as Haaland added his name into the EPL history books.
He joins Mick Quinn who also took 6 games to score 10 goals in the league. That came back in December 1992.
Haaland has a few records already including:
- Most goals scored by a player in August (9)
- Fewest games needed to score two hat-tricks (5)
- Most goals after the first five games of a season (9)
- Fewest games needed to score 10 goals in a season (6)
City face Sevilla in the Champions League before hosting Spurs in the Premier League this weekend.
