'Fairly early' - Robbie Fowler makes blunt Erling Haaland Liverpool point

Robbie Fowler believes there hasn't been a forward like Erling Haaland for some time and the biggest compliment he can pay him is that he wished he played for Liverpool.

Haaland emerged from the bench to score an injury-time penalty as 10-man Manchester City snatched a 2-1 win against Fulham at the Etihad on Saturday afternoon. It was his 23rd goal in his 17th appearance for City since joining the club in the summer.

The forward, who had started on the bench after missing City's last two games with a foot problem, joined Pep Guardiola's side in the summer from Borussia Dortmund in a deal worth £51m. The Etihad club paid the 22-year-old's release clause and expect to pay £85.5m in total when agent fees, signing bonuses and other costs are taken into account.
