Rio Ferdinand believes Erling Haaland's ability to score 'out of nothing' helps his Manchester City colleagues to 'elevate' their performances.

Haaland doesn’t care, he’s not interested. “If most strikers don’t get the ball, they’re not happy. He doesn’t need loads of touches of the ball. He can produce a moment out of nothing. Champions League He gives you an extra level of hope.

Erling Haaland won't stop scoring: Records continue to tumble (The Indian Express)

Erling Haaland also became the first player in the competition's history to score in each of his first four Premier League away games.

It was his 14th goal of the season in all competitions and the goal machine looks nowhere close to being run out of fuel. The possibilities and the potential this player has is endless. On Saturday against a hapless Wolves side, the Norwegian giant scored in his seventh straight match for Manchester City and sent countless records tumbling.

Erling Haaland scores again, Jack Grealish silences critics as Man ... (ESPN)

Erling Haaland scored again for Man City, who had an easy afternoon after Wolves went down to 10 men after 33 minutes.

Haaland now has 14 goals in 10 matches in all competitions (11 in the Premier League) and has only failed to hit the net in two matches this season for City. Man City: Amid the international break, Man City will have time to prepare for the derby, with Manchester United visiting the blue half of the city on Oct. - City are now unbeaten in their last 22 away league matches with a record of 16-6-0 (W-D-L). In between the first two goals we were there, but they scored in a transition. [Nathan Collins](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/279780/Nathan-Collins) jumped for a loose ball and caught Grealish in the midriff with his studs, receiving a straight red card. We struggled a lot after half-time until Phil's [Foden] goal so a lot of credit to Wolves." However, if your ability to pick up points is based on keeping it tight at the back then you need to make sure you don't concede inside a minute and have one of your centre-backs sent off before half-time. Bruno Lage did a good job at Molineux last season but he needs to get his team scoring soon if he's to avoid being dragged into the Premier League's sack race. A deserved red card followed, and with it, any chance of Wolves' salvaging something from the game disappeared. And, what do you know, three days after lasting 58 minutes against Dortmund, Grealish was happy again -- taking just 55 seconds to score his first goal of the season to put City 1-0 up. The 22-year-old will probably feel he could have had more, especially after Collins was sent off for an ugly-looking challenge on Grealish, but in the second half Pep Guardiola's side seemed content with knocking the ball around and running down the clock. Wolves were 2-0 down and a man down after just 33 minutes and at that point the home supporters inside Molineux were fearing the worst.

Erling Haaland's Record Premier League Goal Tally For Manchester ... (Forbes)

A dig into the numbers shows we really shouldn't be surprised the combination of Manchester City and Erling Haaland has resulted in an avalanche of goals.

This means, based on the quality of chances being created, they should have scored at least a couple of goals a game. Based on the chances created for him last season he had an xG of 15, but the Norwegian scored 22 goals. Gone are the days when a new signing from abroad carries any mystique in the Premier League. It showed a Manchester United supporter peering room a living room door and shouting incredulously; “f**king Haaland has scored a hat-trick in 38 minutes. He scored a hat-trick last game, we’re four games into the season and do you know how many goals he’s scored? However, with chance converter supreme Haaland now in City’s ranks, there was less of a risk of the Citizens wasting the chances it created. Such numbers would be a daunting prospect whatever team Haaland was joining, but with Manchester City, he has picked the side which has consistently been creating the most chances in the division. Do you know how many games there are? Using the expected goals (xG) metric, which breaks down a player’s chances by the average likeliness to score, Haaland also demonstrated an ability to convert opportunities with a high degree of difficulty. However, a dig into the numbers shows we really shouldn’t be surprised the combination of Manchester City and Erling Haaland has resulted in an avalanche of goals. [Squawka](https://www.squawka.com/en/erling-haaland-man-city-golden-boot-transfer/) explained: “Erling Haaland is the most clinical player in European football. To the amusement of much of the internet the fan gets more and more outraged, “four games” he repeats with rising exasperation, “he’s scored half the amount you need to be classed as a great striker already.
