Just over halfway through the league season and Erling Haaland has 25 league goals, yet many have sought to blame him for City’s patchy form this season.
Within these goals, there have been four hat-tricks (against Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, Manchester United and Wolves). This means Haaland has scored more hat-tricks already than Cristiano Ronaldo did over both his spells at United.
His rate of goals has slowed over previous weeks, but he still averages a goal every seventy-two minutes in a City shirt and if he is unfit for Wednesday’s top-of-the-table clash with Arsenal, he will be a huge loss.
