On Friday night, Manchester City defeated newly promoted Burnley by a score of 3-0, launching their third consecutive Premier League title defense. Haaland scored his first goal in just four minutes by volleying in a Rodri header.
Vincent Kompany’s team battled back into the game and missed several good opportunities to tie it up before the Norwegian sensation put a stop to it. Haaland expertly curled the ball into the far corner to complete a beautiful passing play by the Blues.
Ake anticipates that Haaland will equal his 52 goals from the previous year after he scored twice against a team in claret and blue on the opening day of the current campaign. He declared, “He has this drive to do that for sure.” “But he will just continue playing game by game, and hopefully he can do the same, I am confident.
Regarding his objectives, Ake added, “That is Erling! It is amazing to witness. Tonight’s finishes were excellent. However, he was also in one-on-one situations rather frequently, which allowed us to understand his strengths and how this team could employ him.
We’re overjoyed to have him. He never ceases to astound us with his vital goals scored.
Haaland expressed his delight at the season getting off to a successful start. “I’m incredibly thrilled,” he declared. Three points and a strong start once more. I strive to grow because I am 23 years old and yet a youthful person.
“I attempt to concentrate on that. With our lengthy season, it’s not simple. We must attack the season now that we are back in the game. The best version of oneself must be our goal.
