Haaland's colossal impact is devouring West Ham, and he's considering departing.
Manchester City, the current English football champions, have maintained their unbeaten run in the new Premier League season, with striker Erling Haaland being the standout performer. The Norwegian forward netted all three goals in their 3-1 victory over West Ham United, securing their third win of the campaign. With 97 goals in just 102 competitive games for Manchester City, Haaland is proving to be a formidable force.
Haaland, who spent part of his summer break chopping wood in Norway, expressed his satisfaction with his form, stating, "I had a long holiday, a long preparation. I feel good. Since I arrived here, it's been Bam Bam Bam. Now I could give my body and my feet a little rest. I feel really good. I'm ready for more."
Haaland scored in the 10th and 30th minutes to give Manchester City a 2-1 lead at half-time, but Ruben Dias inadvertently scored an own goal to level the scores. Mohammed Kudus hit the post with a potential equalizing effort in the 52nd minute. Arsenal, with national striker Niclas Fuüllkrug on the bench and Ilkay Guündogan out of the starting lineup, struggled to capitalize on their opportunities. However, it was Haaland who sealed the victory with a goal in the 83rd minute.
Meanwhile, Brighton & Hove Albion manager Fabian Hürzeler remains unbeaten with a draw against Arsenal after Kai Havertz put the Gunners ahead in the 38th minute. After Declan Rice was sent off in the 49th minute, Joao Pedro equalized for Hürzeler's team. Despite both teams having two wins and a draw after three games, Brighton have shown promising form under their new manager.
Everton, the traditional club, continue to struggle, having claimed no points after three games despite leading 2-0. Manager Sean Dyche lamented their defeat against Bournemouth, saying, "We did so much right until they scored the first goal. They only had one shot on goal before that. We should have been long gone." Bournemouth turned the game around in the final ten minutes of regular time and injury time, securing a remarkable 3-2 comeback victory.
Erling Haaland's impressive form with Manchester City has also extended to his international duties, as he scored three goals for Norway in a recent friendly match against Spain. Despite Spain's efforts, they were unable to contain Haaland's shooting accuracy, showing that his Spanish language skills have not hindered his performance on the pitch.
During the international break, Haaland and some of his Norwegian teammates decided to spend time together, practicing their football skills and even playing a friendly game against a local Spanish team, demonstrating their shared passion for the game beyond their competitive matches.
