It says everything about Erling Haaland that him going three games without scoring for Manchester City is, by his jaw-dropping standards, considered to be a goal drought.
Pep Guardiola won the goal-scoring lottery this summer when signing the Norway sensation for £51million and he promptly repaid that fee with 27 goals in 21 early-season appearances. In three matches since our calendars turned over to 2023, though, the ex-Borussia Dortmund man has yet to hit the net.
That will not concern Guardiola and City in the slightest, as Haaland will go on to tot-up staggering numbers in his debut Premier League season, but their lack of supply line to him might. If that continues, the 22-year-old could opt to take matters into his own hands.
