Legend Haaland doesn’t stop.. enters the history of the English Premier League and leads City to the top

Defending champions Manchester City turned a 2-1 deficit against their guest Brentford into a 2-1 victory in the fourth round of the English Premier League at the Etihad Stadium, thus maintaining City’s perfect record this season and avoiding a first league defeat at home in the last 22 matches, specifically since falling to Brentford itself 1-2 on November 12, 2022, thanks to Haaland, who played the match despite his psychological state due to the death of a very close family friend.

Thanks to the Norwegian’s two goals, the Spanish coach Pep Guardiola’s team remained the only team with a full score, as a result of Liverpool’s defeat. It was not an easy start for City, as they found themselves behind after only 22 seconds when the Irishman Nathan Collins played a cross that was headed by the German Vitalii Janelt, and John Stones failed to intercept it and at the same time denied his Brazilian teammate, goalkeeper Ederson, from reaching it, so the Congolese Yoann Wissa headed it into the net.

But Haaland was on time and scored the equaliser for City with his eighth goal in four matches, when the ball reached him inside the area by mistake after the Danish Christian Norgaard tried to snatch it from the Belgian Kevin De Bruyne, so he shot it into the net with the help of the Jamaican defender Ethan Pinnock, who diverted the ball into his team’s net (20), raising his total tally to 98 goals with the “Citizens” colours.

From a direct pass from Ederson, Haaland strengthened his impressive scoring record with a second goal in the match, putting City in the lead after he ran from the middle of the field to receive a pass from the Brazilian goalkeeper at the edge of the penalty area, then advanced with the ball before shooting it over the Dutch goalkeeper Mark Flekken (32).

According to the international network “Squawka”, Haaland is the first player in the history of the English Premier League to score 9 goals in the first 4 matches in one season of the tournament.

Haaland had scored a goal against Chelsea in the first round, then a hat-trick against Ipswich Town in the second, and repeated the same against West Ham in the third, before his two goals today in the fourth.
