“It is nothing super surprising because they have the quality to do this. “With the ball, we are definitely not on the level we have been. Or are we not on the level?” Hasenhuttl said afterwards.

Erling Haaland has already broke multiple goal-scoring records at Manchester City and in the Champions League, and he's on course to smash many more.

Haaland is likely looking at breaking the record for most goals in a Premier League season. Haaland also broke a record that was just broken, becoming the youngest player in the Champions League to score 25 goals (22 years, 47 days). The Norwegian also has a handful of Champions League records to his name. He has also become the first player to score in his first four away games in the Premier League, scoring at the London Stadium against West Ham, St. It's an incredible weapon for us, a big threat. "He scored a brilliant goal.

Whereas Messi could 'do it all himself', Haaland needs his team-mates to create for him. A 21-pass move against Southampton showed how...

They were 2-0 down at half-time and had been rushing their passes to the big Norwegian, but after the break they got better all over the pitch, were more patient, and fed him for a 19-minute hat-trick.

"We made a step back, possession is not usually an issue. Not with the ball though, we played too risky. "It was a difficult game, we made it easy by scoring early and then we controlled. I am not unhappy with the effort and bravery we showed. Last season we suffered a lot against them but today we were much better," City boss Pep Guardiola said.

Richards got his Manchester City break at 17, but he needed some advice from a Man United legend to keep him on the right path.

I made sure, from that point on, that my future and my family’s future was secure — and I bought my parents a house." It had cost me a fortune and I was keen to show it off,” explained Richards in a section of his new book publicised by the "I don’t think I ever told him, but that speech changed my life.

He strikes fear into those tasked with sticking to him and it can disorganise a defence to such a degree that Phil Foden is left alone to dink in, or Riyad Mahrez is wondering where his marker is and slaps home in their absence.
