Man City’s run leading up to this weekend’s Premier League round 27 clash
between the two teams could not have been more flawless. As a result, despite having to play against Luton Town in the FA Cup’s fifth round, they faced few difficulties.
In this game, Erling Haaland performed exceptionally well. In just 57 minutes, the Norwegian striker scored five goals against the Premier League’s rookie team. Man City ultimately defeated their rivals 6-2 to go to the FA Cup quarterfinals.
Opta Joe claims that since making his club debut in July 2022, Haaland has amassed 79 goals in 83 appearances for Man City across all competitions.
During that same span, Haaland’s scoring record is at least thirty greater than that of any other Premier League player. With 49 goals, Mohamed Salah scored the next-most goals.
Prior to this week’s Manchester derby, Haaland quickly established himself in the Premier League, scoring 8 goals (5 goals and 3 assists) in just 3 games versus Man Utd. Haaland is obviously eager to torture the Red Devils once more.
