Michael Owen sets challenge for Manchester City's Erling Haaland after goalscoring start

Michael Owen has said that Manchester City's Erling Haaland will need to change the way he plays if he wants to be a success in the Premier League.

The Norwegian striker hit the ground running as he made his debut for City, scoring both goals in their 2-0 win at West Ham. The 22-year-old scored goals either side of half time to earn him the man of the match award as he settled in to the rhythm and intensity of the English game instantly.

The former Borussia Dortmund player took just 36 minutes to score his first Premier League goal as he dispatched a penalty that he won himself. His trademark meditation celebration soon followed and you would suspect this is something that City's opponents will grow accustomed to seeing as the season continues.
