A Ruthless Start to the Season

Erling Haaland is living the best moment of his football career. The Norwegian striker for Manchester City has started the 2025/26 season at a level even higher than his own previous standards. After what was considered a “quiet” year — one that still ended with 45 goals — Haaland has come back more lethal than ever, shattering his personal records.

His latest victim was Brentford, where he once again showed why he’s called a “cyborg” of football. With a perfect mix of strength and precision, Haaland overpowered Sepp van den Berg, controlled a poor pass from Gvardiol, and fired with his left foot past Kelleher for yet another trademark finish.

Nine Games in a Row

The numbers are frightening: nine consecutive matches finding the back of the net, including his games with Norway. It’s the longest scoring streak of his professional career. In that stretch, he has scored 16 goals, reaffirming his total dominance in front of goal.

And the record doesn’t stop there. With this form, Haaland has delivered the best start to a season of his career, with 18 goals in 11 matches across the Premier League, Champions League, and international duty — a monstrous pace that once again makes him the top contender for every individual award.

City’s Goal Machine in Record Mode

Manchester City can breathe easy knowing their goal machine is in full flow. With each game, Haaland strengthens his role as the team’s undisputed attacking leader and continues his chase for new Premier League records.

It’s only early October, and the Norwegian has already set off alarms — but only out of fear for his rivals.
