📊 Erling Haaland continues 2026/27 goal glut with historic day vs Ipswich

Well, it would not be a Premier League weekend without a requisite goal-fest from Manchester City's Erling Haaland.

Fresh off a World Cup summer with Norway and no longer donning his Samson-like locks, the 26-year-old superstar striker has not lost his scoring touch, however, after giving Enzo Maresca's outfit a one-goal cushion heading into the halftime interval at home against Ipswich.

It was a first half that hardly lacked action at the Etihad, with Phil Foden ending his 10-month goal drought to put the Cityzens in the lead on 19 minutes, only for summer signing Daizen Maeda to equalise for the Tractor Boys almost immediately.

Then it was Haaland's turn, heading home from Mateo Kovačić's cross into the box to beat Christian Walton to restore the one-goal advantage.

With that, Haaland hit his seventh league goal across the 2026/27 season, but more impressively, had bagged 11 in his last eight appearances across all competitions up to that point, after being kept quiet against Bournemouth during the opening Premier League weekend.

A second from the prolific frontman saw him reach 100 non-penalty Premier League goals while needing just 139 appearances to achieve that feat faster than anyone in the league's history.

Is Haaland destined for yet another Golden Boot crown? You'd certainly not bet against it.
