"If he is hiding any nuts and bolts under those blonde locks of his, Haaland did prove he was still human by missing a couple of chances to complete his hat-trick. But his scary statistics this season have left many in awe of the 25-year-old's prowess in front of goal, prompting a robot dance to mark his opener in the win that took his side up to second place."
"Asked if he had reached the levels of Argentine Lionel Messi and Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, the Spaniard replied: "Have you seen the numbers of that guy? Of course he has. "The numbers from Cristiano and Messi have been for 15 years, Messi is still scoring two, three goals every game and Cristiano in Saudi Arabia, the same. This is that level. "The first goal, the way he shoots the ball, going down on the grass saying, 'I am going to score"
Erling Haaland scored a first-half double as Manchester City beat Bournemouth, restoring his prolific scoring after a rare blank at Aston Villa. He missed chances that would have completed a hat-trick, showing some human fallibility despite remarkable efficiency. Haaland celebrated his opener with a robot-style dance reminiscent of Peter Crouch, prompting a lighthearted social media exchange in which Haaland acknowledged the mimicry and Crouch joked, "I walked so they could run". Haaland has 13 Premier League goals this season, eight home doubles, and 26 goals in total for club and country. Pep Guardiola compared Haaland's numbers to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, asserting that Haaland operates at that elite level.
