Erling Haaland’s stunning impact in the Premier League continued on Saturday as he provided a goal assist with his first touch of the ball.
The Norwegian striker – who bagged twice on his league debut in last week’s opening day victory at West Ham – did not touch the ball for the first 18 minutes of Manchester City ’s clash with Bournemouth, before then providing the vital touch. Haaland provided the assist for Ilkay Gundogan to open the scoring for City after an opening period of dominance.
City are heavy favourites to continue their 100 percent winning start to the season with the clash against the newly-promoted Cherries, who would have been hoping to hold out for as long as possible and catch Pep Guardiola’s cold on the counter attack. But just after the half hour mark, Kevin de Bruyne doubled the scoring from Phil Foden’s assist before Foden added a third with De Bruyne turning provider. Jefferson Lerma's late own goal wrapped up a four-goal win for City.
