Fresh from scoring twice on his City debut against West Ham United last weekend, the Norwegian, snapped up from Borussia Dortmund earlier this summer, showed his ability to create chances and bring others into play, setting up Ilkay Gundogan with just 19 minutes on the clock against Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.

The striker played a lovely give-and-go with the German, while on the turf, to send him clear and enable him to score what was his 50th goal in City colours. Haaland showed tremendous strength to hold off two Cherries players and slip Gundogan in to slot home with his left foot.
