Man City’s Erling Haaland showed insane strength after Ederson’s pass v Brighton

Erling Braut Haaland ended his goal drought on Saturday afternoon.

After failing to score in Manchester City’s 1-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield, the outrageously-talented striker bagged the team’s opener against Brighton & Hove Albion.

It was some goal from Pep Guardiola’s side as well, who’re just devastating at the Etihad Stadium.

Shortly after not being awarded a penalty for what appeared to be a clear foul on Haaland by Robert Sanchez, the champions clicked into gear.

Goalkeeper Ederson produced one of his trademark pings up the pitch and Haaland then went into full bulldozer mode in order to latch onto the superb pass by his teammate.

Sanchez’s decision to come up field was a very poor one indeed and that left poor ol’ Adam Webster stranded in a 1v1 strength battle with City’s talisman.

Needless to say, Webster came off second best…

Yeah, trying to barge Haaland off the ball is like trying to break down a brick wall.

The guy is just a freak of nature, isn’t he? You dread to think how many goals he’s going to score in Premier League action this season.

Haaland actually made it 17 in the English top-flight for the season just before the half-time break against Brighton, the Norwegian converting from the penalty spot in typically emphatic fashion after a foul on Bernardo Silva.
