Just six days after a desperate performance against Liverpool in the Community Shield and the target of numerous criticisms, Erling Haaland showed in the first round of the Premier League what a 'goal machine' City have in him.

The Norwegian scored both goals for Manchester City in a 2-0 win away at West Ham.

In scoring goals, Haaland demonstrates what makes him one of the best strikers in the world, strength, coordination, speed and sense of goal.

At the end of the first half, Haaland opened the scoring from a penalty which he forced himself. In the 65th minute, Haaland received a great ball in space from Kevin de Bruyne and had no problems beating goalkeeper Areola.
