The Manchester City star continued his impressive form when scoring in his ninth consecutive match, contributing to the home team's victory over Brentford.
This is Erling Haaland's 18th goal of the season, counted in all competitions for both club and national team. That was a clear testament to his strong playing style and sharp finishing ability.
After recent excellent performances, Haaland was asked whether he was in top form. "I have never felt more wonderful," the Norwegian striker replied. This is a concise but enough statement to make all opponents wary.
Haaland has made a habit of conquering incredible statistical milestones throughout his career.
However, the fact that Haaland currently has the longest scoring streak since starting his professional career shows that he has reached a completely different level.
After 11 appearances this season, Haaland has contributed 18 goals for The Citizens and the Norwegian national team, and Tottenham are the only team to keep a clean sheet against him.
The Norwegian striker emphasized the combination of physical strength and spirit to achieve explosive form. He also seems to have overcome knee and ankle problems, and injuries that forced Haaland to miss last season.
But Haaland's performance also exuded a strong desire. The Norwegian striker called Man City's decline last season "horrific" and did not hesitate to express his disappointment with the draw with Monaco in the Champions League in midweek. In that match, his two delicate shots finally brought home a draw.
All the elements are converging: fitness, form, motivation and Haaland is also playing for a Man City side to gradually regain their form.
"I feel like the team is improving with each match. It is an honor and joy to be a part of the history of the Premier League.
But of course I want to thank the club, the players and all the staff for having so many games and we did faster, better and I'm really satisfied. Let's earn 250 more wins," said Pep Guardiola after becoming the fastest manager to reach 250 wins in Premier League history.
In addition to the goals, Haaland's comprehensive play is also very noteworthy. He actively participated in set-pieces against Brentford, while Guardiola stressed: "He was more involved, not only finished, but also pressed positively, and contributed many other things."
However, scoring is still Haaland's biggest strength. He has scored more goals than any other Premier League player in all competitions this season, even scoring more goals for more clubs in the competition.
The question now is whether Haaland can continue to score to bring Man City back to the top of the Premier League?
"You can say I'm at my best. I have never felt better than now. It is all thanks to preparation, both physically and mentally.
Having children makes me disconnect from football more, not worry or think too much like before. I want to thank my son," said the Norwegian striker.
