The stratospheric record that Haaland broke at Elland Road

This is not another Wednesday, not a game, for Erling Haaland, it is not for nothing that he was born in Leedsalthough he was only 3 years old when he and his family left England for Bryne, his parents’ hometown, in Norway. His father, Alfie Haaland, is an embodiment of Leeds and this Wednesday in the stands of Elland Road he saw his son score another two goals in a Manchester City shirt but this time it was his team. Not only that, Erling Haaland also broke a record, being the fastest player to reach 20 goals in a Premier: he achieved it in 14 games. stratosphere

Erling Haaland this Wednesday passed the record held by Kevin Phillips since the 1990-2000 season, when with Sunderland he has hit 20 Premier goals in 21 games. Phillips ended up announcing himself, with 30 ‘targets’ at the end, not only ‘pichichi’ of the Premier but also the Golden Boot at the European level. Fate matters, July 21, 2000 when Haaland was born.

In honor of the club his father played for between 1997 and 2000, this Leeds lad did not celebrate his two goals at Elland Road, but he showed in front of goal how much he missed going to the Qatar 2022 World Cup, where Norway did not qualify. A great absentee.

The fact is that Haaland is back in the dance and in a very emotional meeting for him he took advantage of two assists from Jack Grealish to prove it. Pep Guardiola’s City are again, after 1-3 against Leeds, second in the Premier, 5 points behind Mike Arteta’s Arsenal.
