HAAL OF FAME

Erling stacks up the stats after hitting winner at Bees

- JOHN CROSS

ERLING HAALAND is in such incredible form that he seems to reach a new milestone every week.

This time he made it nine goals in seven Premier League games this season, a total of 18 in 11 for club and country.

It is the longest goalscoring streak of his career as he has now scored in each of his last nine games.

No wonder he milked it at the end, going over to the away end to give his shirt away to a fan who then gave him a big kiss! It was brilliant.

Haaland's winner at Brentford also means he has scored in 22 of the 23 Premier League stadiums he has played in - with Anfield being the exception to the rule.

But what looks just as daunting is Haaland's strength, determination and eye for goal because he is right back to his very best and is bullying the life out of opposing defences.

Brentford just could not handle him and in this sort of mood you really feel as if City can step up and challenge for the title again.
