Erling Haaland

Rio Ferdinand believes Erling Haaland's ability to score 'out of nothing' helps his Manchester City colleagues to 'elevate' their performances.

Haaland doesn’t care, he’s not interested. “If most strikers don’t get the ball, they’re not happy. He doesn’t need loads of touches of the ball. He can produce a moment out of nothing. Champions League He gives you an extra level of hope.

The goal marked the quickest goal that has been scored by any player in the Premier League so far this season. With the goal, the Norwegian ace managed to etch his name in English footballing folklore as the first player to bag goals in each of his first four away games in the season. Grealish was the first to feature on the scoreline, as he managed to find the back of the net in the dying seconds of the first minute after kick-off.

Erling Haaland also became the first player in the competition's history to score in each of his first four Premier League away games.

It was his 14th goal of the season in all competitions and the goal machine looks nowhere close to being run out of fuel. The possibilities and the potential this player has is endless. On Saturday against a hapless Wolves side, the Norwegian giant scored in his seventh straight match for Manchester City and sent countless records tumbling.

We struggled a lot after half-time until Phil's [Foden] goal so a lot of credit to Wolves." However, if your ability to pick up points is based on keeping it tight at the back then you need to make sure you don't concede inside a minute and have one of your centre-backs sent off before half-time. Bruno Lage did a good job at Molineux last season but he needs to get his team scoring soon if he's to avoid being dragged into the Premier League's sack race. A deserved red card followed, and with it, any chance of Wolves' salvaging something from the game disappeared. And, what do you know, three days after lasting 58 minutes against Dortmund, Grealish was happy again -- taking just 55 seconds to score his first goal of the season to put City 1-0 up. The 22-year-old will probably feel he could have had more, especially after Collins was sent off for an ugly-looking challenge on Grealish, but in the second half Pep Guardiola's side seemed content with knocking the ball around and running down the clock. Wolves were 2-0 down and a man down after just 33 minutes and at that point the home supporters inside Molineux were fearing the worst.
