"While 22 goals last season is hardly bad, Haaland struggled to have the same impact as he had been during his first two seasons in the Premier League, particularly compared to the 2022-23 campaign, where he scored 52 goals in all competitions as City won the Treble. The Norwegian would miss key chances in big moments, which ultimately contributed to City finishing well below expectations in third place."
"But against United, he looked back to his ruthless best, taking City out of reach from their rivals in the second half with two tidy finishes. The first was a cool chip over United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir, before he charged through to slot home in trademark fashion to complete the 3-0 win and take his tally this season to five goals in four games."
Erling Haaland struggled in 2024-25 despite scoring 22 goals, failing to match his first two Premier League seasons, especially the 2022-23 Treble-winning year when he scored 52 goals. Missed key chances in big moments contributed to Manchester City finishing third. In the derby against Manchester United he regained ruthlessness, scoring a cool chip over Altay Bayindir and a trademark finish to complete a 3-0 win and bring his season total to five goals in four games. Pep Guardiola praised his form, suggesting this season may be better than the Treble year. Haaland has 90 Premier League goals from 101 games and needs 10 in 22 matches to reach 100.
