'Flash in the pan' - Gary Lineker makes Erling Haaland joke as Man City beat Southampton 4-0

Manchester City star Erling Haaland scored his 15th league goal of the season against Southampton on Saturday as Gary Lineker aimed a cheeky dig at the striker during the match.

Kevin de Bruyne finished as City's top goalscorer in the league last season, with a total of 15 goals to his name. Haaland has already matched that number in just nine games, with 29 matches still to be played.

City led 2-0 at the break thanks to goals from Joao Cancelo and Phil Foden. Riyad Mahrez, who was brought into the starting XI by Pep Guardiola, made it 3-0 to the Blues just four minutes into the second-half.
