I had the feeling he is always an incredible threat for the opponent. “I had the feeling he is not at his best. It is a question of time for the injury. “The numbers are unbelievable but I have the feeling he is not just coming here for the numbers, he wants to win it.” However, that joint record came when there were 42 games played during a season. “I think he is still not at his best, as he was at the beginning of the season, because of the injury he had at Dortmund for a long period,” Guardiola told reporters

We go again! Erling Haaland now has TWENTY goals in FOURTEEN games, while Arsenal are somehow still top of the league by five points despite the Norwegian.

But if you need luck in a title charge, you also need a whole lot of talent – and it came from the most unlikely source. Any other £85 million striker would see a ball dropping out the sky, and no one around them except a retreating goalkeeper, as an opportunity to take a touch, compose themselves, and finish. For adding another layer of chaos to the Premier League. We’re not convinced either, but some lad called Neymar decided to get himself sent off for a truly outstanding dive. But “top at Christmas” still felt a fragile omen to cling to heading into Boxing Day given we had played barely a third of the season, they had lost their main man in attack and Haaland had enjoyed six weeks being plugged into the national grid. The comparisons to Mbappe always felt a bit flimsy, but his finish for the opener against Nottingham Forest, and sensational cut-back assist for Anthony Martial's second, suggest they might not be so far from the truth. The worst Christmas No. actually, Arsenal are significantly better than the LadBaby monstrosity currently topping the charts. well, it would suggest that you can only have one or the other. Haaland could have taken a bigger chunk out of Alan Shearer and Andy Cole’s record had he not had a few cobwebs due to Norway being hopeless at international football. At his current rate, he will smash through the 50-goal barrier and just keep going. Nowadays, in the ‘slimlined’ 38-game format, the record stands at 31 goals.

Erling Haaland Making English Soccer Look Like A 'Farmer's League' (Forbes)

After scoring twice in Manchester City's 3-1 victory against Leeds United star striker Erling Haaland wanted more. "I've been at home, being a bit mad that ...

He ripped it up at Everton and ripped it up at West Brom. “He’s a very good finisher but it’s a completely different game when you get to Manchester City. Where teams come and have a go, he is a handful. "To watch other people score to win games at the World Cup kind of triggers, motivates and irritates me. What is a testament to the standards of the Premier League is that his incredible goalscoring has not pushed Manchester City clear of the rest. That's life, I have to practice more.” Whether this is a vindication of the standard is debatable, it certainly demonstrates its competitiveness. Merson’s prediction turned out to be wrong, but is it because Haaland is so good or because the league is not as people say? "He is still not at his best, as he was at the beginning of the season," said the Manchester City coach "the injury he had at Dortmund affected him for a long period." "To move his huge body is not easy for him but the more minutes he can play, the better he will be,” he added, "I had the feeling in the first half of the season, [the chance he had and missed] in the first minute against Liverpool [in the previous game], and today the second minute against Leeds, it's a goal. The prospect of an even more clinical Haaland is terrifying because he’s already laying waste to a host of Premier League records. Few predicted Haaland would score at the rate he had in Norway, Austria and Germany when he moved to the self-proclaimed ‘best league in the world’, but he has replicated his incredible stats with ease.

Erling Haaland is making winning the Golden Boot look easy! Four ... (Daily Mail)

Wednesday's brace against Leeds took him to 20 for the season, a tally that would have been enough to win the award on four occasions.

I never had a clue about the number through the season, I was in a different world. But then saying that, I was never really a striker — I was a No 10. Dennis Bergkamp was a similar mould to me and, of the other Golden Boot winners, so was Dimitar Berbatov. I had that in the back of my mind, especially with the Newcastle rivalry. I was always stopped in the street about it in the North East goldfish bowl. Winning the Golden Boot was probably an obvious progression — I had scored 17 in previous seasons. I knew it would be difficult coming from the Championship and you question yourself, whether you can adapt as a newcomer. I played more with my back to goal, showing for the ball and flicking it on. Going into the title decider at Liverpool at the end of the 1988-89 season, it was between me and John Aldridge for top scorer. I didn’t take penalties, I never fancied them, although George Graham tried to talk me into it to keep the goals flowing. Tony Cottee had scored a hat-trick on his Everton debut, on the same day, and I thought predators like Tony and Ian Rush were always more likely winners. I wasn’t tracking it throughout the season.

Djokovic is still the man to beat in tennis and has landed back Down Under plotting his bid for a 10th Australian Open title in Melbourne next month. And his speed is only just eclipsed by Mbappe, who was clocked at a mesmerising 23.6mph in a PSG match against Monaco. The varying dynamics makes direct comparison challenging, but a fascinating study shows that tennis legend Novak Djokovic can reach speeds similar to the two most exciting young football stars right now, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland.
