Manchester City 3-1 Leicester City: Haaland’s remarkable run continues as record breaking 32nd goal
Manchester City secured a comfortable 3-1 victory over Leicester City in the Premier League, with Erling Haaland once again proving to be the star of the show. The Norwegian striker scored two goals to take his tally to 32 in the competition this season, equaling the record set by Mohamed Salah for the most goals scored in a 38-game Premier League season.
Haaland’s contribution to Manchester City’s recent success cannot be understated. He broke Cristiano Ronaldo’s record with his first goal against Leicester City, and then doubled Manchester City’s lead by converting from the spot in the 13th minute. He combined with Kevin De Bruyne for the second goal, 12 minutes later, with a brilliant finish.
Haaland sets new Premier League scoring record
Haaland’s incredible run of form has seen him score 47 goals in all competitions for Manchester City this season, setting a new single-season record for any Premier League player. His performances have cemented his place as one of the most exciting young talents in the sport, and his success in the Premier League has been nothing short of remarkable. Manchester City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, has praised Haaland’s incredible talent and the club’s support system, which he says includes “incredible doctors and physiotherapists, they are behind him every second of the day.”
Haaland and solid defence make City favourites against Arsenal
City’s win against Leicester City puts them back in control of their own destiny in the title race, with a game in hand. The victory also continues City’s impressive unbeaten run in the league, which now stretches to 9 games. With Haaland in such devastating form, and City’s defence looking solid, they will be the favourites to come away with all three points when they face Arsenal next week.
