Since his summer arrival at the Etihad Stadium from Signal Iduna Park, Erling Braut Haaland, a young football genius from Norway, has been brutal and terrible at the center of Manchester City’s forward line.
The 22-year-old forward enigma has been on fire for the defending Premier League champion in all competitions and has proven doubters wrong beyond all reasonable doubt. He was initially predicted to struggle after finishing his transfer to the English Premier League, which was thought to be the toughest of the top 5 European leagues.
This is somewhat untrue because he has been showing off his goal-scoring prowess in each game since making his best league debut for Pep Guardiola’s team. He has now scored a total of 15 league goals in only nine games played against them.

With his current total, he is only 8 goals short of matching the Golden Boot winners’ total from last season, who had a record of 23 goals each in 38 games played (Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Tottenham Hotspur’s Heung-min Son).
Erling Haaland will actually set a high bar in the overall number of goals to claim the Golden Boot with 29 games remaining in the competition if he maintains the pace. This has been a major concern for many, considering the rate at which he produced goals with this to add to his numerous records already broken in the competition.
As a result, after bringing his total to 15 goals the day before today in Manchester City’s four-0 victory over Southampton, when he scored the game’s final goal after some amazing teamwork, a petition to get him banned from gambling in the English Premier League has surfaced.
Nearly one million people have signed the petition claiming that “he is a robot,” indicating that they concur with what he has been doing in the opposition when you take into account that his arrival has been out of the ordinary.
