Manchester City forward Erling Haaland defied expectations yet again in Sunday’s 6-3 victory over Manchester United with his third hat-trick of the season after just eight Premier League games.
The 22-year-old took his goals tally to 14 for the domestic campaign, and 17 across all competitions, but he also impressed in another area of his game that has since earned him comparisons to a current Real Madrid icon Karim Benzema.
Former Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur defender William Gallas has praised Haaland for his ability to offer more than just scoring goals for Man City, with two assists in the Manchester derby contributing to an ‘unselfish’ display.
