Unlike last year, this year’s Premier League is wide open for many teams. The number one team on the table, Manchester City, is facing some tough fights. The club encountered a strong Chelsea side, who are on their way to a revival with their new coach, Mauricio Pochettino. Subsequently, the London club impressed Cityzens striker Erling Haaland, who acknowledged the strengths of the Blues.

Although last year, at this stage, the Premier League winners were down and then they capitalized on Arsenal’s poor run of form. However, Haaland is more confident and happier about this season’s start. However, the Norway star did regret missing out on sealing the victory at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Erling Haaland admits missing opportunities to ‘seal the win’

The Norwegian forward scored two goals against a transitioning Chelsea side. But they were not enough, as Chelsea came back in the 5th minute of stoppage time to draw level. After the game, Haaland revealed that it was tough against Mauricio Pochettino’s side despite his goal brace. He said, “We had the chance to seal the win a couple of times, but we didn’t. It’s something we’ve got to work on. Next time, we’ll have to score five”, as compiled by Manchester City’s official press release.

The 6’4″ player also confessed to missing a couple of good chances that could have seized the victory for the visitors. Both teams saw some clear opportunities missed, but it’s the reigning champions who will be the ones more disappointed as they could not hold on to their lead.

However, Manchester City’s most bitter moment against Chelsea would have been in the final of the 2021 UEFA Champions League. Kai Havertz struck off Mason Mount to win them the trophy, leaving Pep Guardiola and Co. shattered. Amid all the drama and chaos, the Norwegian forward is on the verge of breaking yet another Premier League record. Let’s dive deeper.

Haaland on the verge of another Premier League record

The 23-year-old was on an electric run last season, breaking record after record. The lethal striker became the highest goalscorer in a Premier League season with 36. However, now he is on the edge of becoming the fastest player to score 50 Premier League goals.

Currently held by Andy Cole in 65 games, Haaland still has 18 matches to go and just one more goal to conquer. However, he is content that his team is doing better and doesn’t care about individual milestones. However, the UEFA Player of the Year 2022-2023 winner keeps scoring in big numbers only to help his team achieve great things. Any thoughts? Let us know in the comments below.
