Erling Haaland exposes Darwin Nunez inconsistency on path to ... (The Independent)

The Norwegian displayed a different kind of guarantee to the Uruguayan in a thrilling cup tie at the Etihad.

Because while no one else has had a pair of full-backs as capable of making goals, a fundamental difference between Liverpool and City has come in midfield. It showed a threat and continued a trend: his three assists for Liverpool have all been for Salah. “We had chances especially using Darwin in behind where we had spaces,” Jurgen Klopp said, and it was a blistering piece of acceleration from Nunez to sprint in behind Aymeric Laporte. In a season when he has nine goals to Haaland’s 24, perhaps that was fitting. Between them, they have 39 goals before Christmas in a season where they have had a five-week hiatus. It was the immediate reminder the World Cup did not feature some of the planet’s finest forwards.

Erling Haaland: The best player in the world with his studs (Telegraph.co.uk)

Haaland scoring with his studs has become a hallmarked finish and is very effective, as seen again in City's win over Liverpool.

On this occasion, Haaland actually lets the ball sit up off the turf before guiding the ball with his studs. Other strikers may well have tried to cushion the ball with the inside of their left foot, but Haaland instinctively uses his studs instead. Some players have become synonymous with a finish: there was the Karel Poborsky scoop, the Mesut Ozil bounce and Thierry Henry's hallmarked pass into the far corner. Haaland was on the move before Joe Gomez, and diverted the ball goalward with the studs of his left foot. Haaland twists in mid-air and is facing away from both the ball and the goal when he makes contact. The ball appeared too strong, but once again Haaland's outstretched leg and those studs made the difference.
