13 mindblowing stats from Erling Haaland's insane start at Man City (PlanetFootball)

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is one of the most high-profile signings in Premier League history and it's safe to say he's living up to the hype ...

– So far he’s averaging a goal every 43 minutes. In the Austrian Bundesliga, he averaged a goal every 62 minutes for Red Bull Salzburg. Over a third (29) of his total touches have come in the opposition penalty area while just four per cent have come in City’s defensive third. – Haaland’s goal or assist average so far is one every 39 minutes. – The striker has registered just 85 touches to date. – In the German Bundesliga, Haaland averaged a goal every 87 minutes for Borussia Dortmund. – His nine goals have come from 22 shots in total and 11 on target. In the Premier League, he averages a goal every 43 minutes. – In 30 years of the Premier League, only five other players have scored back-to-back Premier League hat-tricks. Haaland has surpassed that with nine in five. The previous record was held by Sergio Aguero and Mick Quinn (eight each). We’d be amazed if he doesn’t smash plenty more records in the coming months and years, too.
