Shaun Wright-Phillips identifies key to 'scary' Erling Haaland mentality at Man City

Erling Haaland arrived at Manchester City with a big reputation early in the summer, but it's safe to say that the striker has already managed to exceed expectations at the Etihad Stadium.

Having scored 13 goals in nine games, Haaland is on track to break the record for the most goals in a Premier League season (34) and most goals in a debut Premier League season (24). Perhaps more significantly for City fans, he has enjoyed a better start to life at City than club legend Sergio Aguero; the Argentine scored eight goals in his first seven outings.

Much was made before the start of the season about how Haaland would adapt to City's style of play, and vice versa. Clearly he has not had too many problems, but the difference he is making to City's attack is obvious.
