Arsenal might sit top of the table but Manchester City are something different this season even for their standards and that is because of Erling Haaland. It was obvious that City needed to bring in a classic No.9, but securing arguably the world’s best - perhaps bar Robert Lewandowski, and even then it's debatable - is rather ridiculous.
Gabriel Jesus has joined Arsenal and by all accounts, his performances have been of a world-class level. But the difference in the goal tallies of Jesus and Haaland is already significant.
Haaland made it three hat-tricks in three successive home Premier League games to take his tally for the season to 17 in 11 games in all competitions. More than three times as many goals as Arsenal's new man, highlighting the difference not only between the players but the side's creative capacity too.
