'ERLING'S HUNGRY FOR GOALS... HE'S BEST IN THE LAND'

ERLING HAALAND has been in sensational form this season - and Manchester City's "cheat code" is performing because of his mentality and desire to be the best.

Haaland was on target as City closed the gap on leaders Arsenal with a 3-0 victory over Liverpool last weekend.

The opening goal at The Etihad was his 19th in just 15 appearances in all competitions for Pep Guardiola's side so far this season.

And former City forward Paul Dickov believes the forward's mentality is the reason why he continues to be the best in the business.

Dickov (below) said: "I don't know what else to say. It just seems that every game he seems to play that he's breaking records, which is crazy.

"What I've got to say about Erling is, the biggest thing people talk about is his goals, his attributes and the types of goals he scores.
