Erling Haaland raised his number of Premier League goals to 14, following scoring a hat-trick in Manchester City’s 6-3 victory over Manchester United on Sunday, and the Norwegian striker said his compatibility with Kevin De Bruyne was one of the most important factors in this success.
Belgian De Bruyne provided four assists for Haaland this season, following making two goals in the victory in the Manchester summit on Sunday.

“It’s crazy,” Haaland told City’s website on Monday. Passes make each of us find each other.”
“I’ve been at the club for two months, but the harmony between us seems natural, and maybe that’s the best part. This is normal, I run and he finds me. When this is normal, there is nothing better than that.”
He continued: “This is wonderful, really exceptional, but we must not forget the others. Kevin is one player, but I might spend all day talking regarding the rest. It’s not just regarding him, but there are a lot of others and there are other great passes.”
Manchester City hosts its Danish rival Copenhagen in the Champions League on Wednesday, before returning to domestic competitions and facing Southampton on Saturday.
