Manchester City are hosting West Ham at the Etihad in another round of the Premier League action.
The opening goal didn’t take long to arrive—by the fifth minute, the hosts were already on the scoreboard. West Ham’s defenders lost track of Haaland as he latched onto Foden’s delivery. Areola managed to parry the Norwegian’s initial shot, but Erling was ruthless on the rebound, leaving no chance for the keeper.
West Ham have become only the second Premier League side against whom Haaland has netted 10 goals, following Wolves. Remarkably, before him, only Mohamed Salah and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink had managed to score at least 10 times against the London club.
It’s also worth noting that Haaland has opened the scoring in ten different Premier League matches this season. No other player has netted the opening goal in more than five games.
