Manchester City beat West Ham United 2-0 away. Both goals are attributable to Erling Haaland, the new Premier League attraction who came to the island from Dortmund for 60 million euros.
The Norwegian – just 22 years young – teaches the competition to fear on the first day of the game following remaining goalless in the Community Shield duel once morest Liverpool (1: 3).
“The perfect start to the league,” praises Reds legend Michael Owen (42). “You mightn’t have written a better screenplay. It was an incredible debut from him.”
“I am proud”
Double packer Haaland himself says: “I’m proud. It was a beautiful moment for me and my family when I met.” Father Alf-Inge (49) once played for the Skyblues for three years.
Against the Hammers, the striker converted a foul penalty in the 36th minute, which he pulled out himself. After a little over an hour, he beats substitute goalie Alphonse Areola a second time following a through ball by Kevin De Bruynes (65′).
Comparison with Ruud van Nistelrooy
“He reminds me so much of Ruud van Nistelrooy,” said ex-Manchester United star Paul Scholes (47). “When he storms the keeper alone, you think he doesn’t give him the slightest chance of defence.”
Of course, his new boss is also satisfied. “Erling adapts perfectly to our game,” analyzes Pep Guardiola (51). “He was good. I can’t teach him how to score goals, he just has to feel comfortable.”
Haaland is the first player to double on his championship debut under Guardiola. The Spaniard has been a trainer with the reigning English champions since the summer of 2016. (yup)
