  • Haaland’s ridiculous debut season in the Premier League continued on Saturday with two more goals
  • The Norwegian now has 30 league goals as at April 8, which is more goals than the entire Chelsea team has managed at the same stage
  • His second goal against Southampton was a stunning overhead kick that left the internet stunned

Erling Haaland clocked another milestone on Saturday evening with two goals in Manchester City’s win over Southampton.

Since making the move to England from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, Haaland has settled in seamlessly, and scores goal for fun, particularly in the league.

Against bottom-side Southampton, Haaland was at it again as he found the net twice to continue his ridiculous record-setting in the league.

His opening goal came courtesy of Kevin de Bruyne, who brilliantly set him up with a cross which he seamlessly headed home.

In the second half, Jack Grealish doubled the lead for his team, but the moment of the game was yet to come.

Grealish was involved in the build-up once again as he crossed the ball to Haaland who did well with an improvised bicycle finish to make it 3-0.

That was Haaland’s 30th league goal of the season in 27 games.

Southampton pulled a goal back through Sekou Mara, but the match belonged to the Citizens, who made it 4-1 through a Julian Alvarez penalty.

Here are some reactions from fans after Haaland's masterclass:

"No way, Haaland now have more goals than Chelsea this season,"

@mozekbl added:

"This man is the goal machine ever seen in EPL, many more are coming"
