Erling Haaland has played six Premier League games and already broken a competition record.
Nine goals in his first five matches, including consecutive hat-tricks, gave him another slice of history but - more importantly - have also shredded any debate or questions about his suitability for the Premier League. The Norwegian arrived in England with the reputation of a superstar that the Premier League just isn't used to, and his early performances have emphatically reinforced this.
As Manchester City fans pinch themselves at the ridiculous talent they have on their hands and United supporters shout at Haaland across the street to join their club instead, much of the praise Pep Guardiola has dished out about his new No.9 has not been about what everyone else has seen.
