Since he landed in the Premier League, Erling Haaland he has faced 22 different teams. Before today. In fact, this afternoon, Ipswich Town became the twenty-third team against which the Manchester City striker has played at least one match. The former Borussia Dortmund and Salzburg player had scored against all 22 teams he had faced before. And it was the same against the twenty-third.
Today Manchester City took to the field against Ipswich Town, beat them and Haaland once again scored, first from a penalty and then also scoring twice with an assist from Kevin de Bruyne, and then a hat-trick at the end. And so the data, which was already impressive as it was, needs to be updated: the Norwegian striker has now scored against 23 Premier League teams out of 23 faced.
In short, Haaland spares no one. After all, he doesn’t shy away from getting on the scoresheet against the big teams, let alone against a newly promoted team. The brace against Ipswich, therefore, reinforces his lead: no one in the Premier League has been able to do what he is doing. A goal machine.
