Erling Haaland double sinks Brentford after Wissa jolts Manchester City
Erling Haaland now has nine goals in Manchester City’s opening four Premier League matches, a mark that sets a record, eclipsing Wayne Rooney’s eight of 2011-12. In an invigorating contest, his latest double claimed the three points to secure a maximum 12 from 12 for the champions.
The No 9’s goals were met by what appeared a muted celebration after his loss this past week of a close family friend, Ivar Eggja. Haaland has a mind-bending 99 in 103 in all competitions in City colours. With the Premier League case against the club commencing on Monday, there is zero sign their players are distracted.
