Fastest To Reach 50 PL Goals, Erling Haaland Can Now Help Pep Guardiola Solve a Problem That He Hasn’t Faced Since 2017

Manchester City under Pep Guardiola, has definitely raised the level of their sport in recent years. The team has made winning the Premier League appear easy by winning 5 times in the last 6 seasons. However, their run this season has induced them a problem, one that City hasn’t faced in almost six years. Fortunately for Guardiola and his troops, they have an arsenal in their superstar striker, Erling Haaland.

The problem that City is presently dealing with is not winning consecutive games. In their past 2 matches, the opposition has held City to draws. Firstly came an exciting 4-4 draw against Chelsea, accompanied by a tough-fought 1-1 stalemate with Liverpool. Now, their next fit ought to become a hassle for them.

Manchester City needs Erling Haaland to not repeat the 6-year-old fate

Manchester City is set to face their next challenge in the form of Tottenham Hotspur on December 3rd. If Pep Guardiola and his men fail to win this match too, it will most likely widen the point gap between them and table leaders Arsenal, whom they sit only one point behind at the moment. In addition, it will also mark the first time since 2017 that City would fail to win three consecutive matches.

This is a situation that most of Guardiola’s men haven’t faced till now while playing at the Etihad. Fortunately for Man City, unlike 2017, this time around they have got Erling Haaland in the squad. Since joining the club, the Norwegian striker has been in amazing goal-scoring form. With 14 goals under his belt, he currently leads the PL goal-scoring list. Time and time again he has been instrumental in the team’s success.

Even in the matches Manchester City drew, the 23-year-old still showed his goalscoring ability. He scored a brace against Chelse while scoring the only City goal against Liverpool. Moreover, his goal against The Reds made him the fastest player to score 50 goals. It only took him 48 games to reach this milestone! With such an impressive form the striker could very well turn the tides in their favor against Tottenham.

He almost won his team the match against Liverpool and can also do it against Spurs. Despite garnering fans’ admiration for his high-quality accomplishments, it is really worth noting that there is one Premier League legend who hasn’t completely given credit to the young striker for his record.

Haaland was not given 100% credit for his record-breaking feat

Haaland’s recent achievement of being the fastest player to score 50 goals has generated a lot of buzz. One noteworthy individual who has expressed their thoughts on this extraordinary accomplishment is former Chelsea player Frank LeBoeuf. In acknowledging Haaland’s accomplishment, LeBoeuf commended the striker for his dedication and hard work during training sessions.

However, he also emphasized that credit should not solely be attributed to Haaland alone. LeBoeuf stated, “I would say not 50/50, I would say 60 for him and 40 for the teammates.” It is a unique perspective that adds an unusual layer of interpretation to this record-breaking achievement.
