Alan Shearer believes the 'scary' Erling Haaland will 'storm past' the 50-goal mark for Manchester City this season with a previous prediction of 40 already surpassed.
Haaland scored his 43rd and 44th goals of the campaign in Saturday's comfortable 4-1 win at Southampton to hand City an eighth straight win in all competitions. The Norwegian powered through the Saints' defence to nod home Kevin De Bruyne's cross on 45 minutes, before an incredible overhead kick with 20 minutes left saw three points secured.
The Blues are now five points behind league leaders Arsenal, who play Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, and Haaland looks set to break yet more records in the coming weeks. The 22-year-old is level with Mohamed Salah and Andy Cole as the highest one-season scorer across all competitions in the Premier League era, and Shearer believes he will go on to smash it.
