Erling Braut Haaland is celebrated after a new milestone – joined the exclusive list

– If this is his “bad” season, I expect him to be back in the high 30s in scoring next season, said Darren Bent in the Premier League’s Matchday Live broadcast, after Haaland and City had crushed Wolverhampton 5-1.

It former striker with a past in Tottenham and Aston Villa, among othersreferred to the fact that Jærbu had to withstand a lot of criticism for a long period of time. After four goals against Wolverhampton, most – including manager Pep Guardiola – agreed that he is back to his best.

Roy Keane has been particularly critical – who has compared Haaland to a level four player in England.

Bent argued that the second season in the Premier League is always more difficult.

– It just shows how good he is: You see strikers who have one incredible season, and then they don’t even come close to the same numbers in the second season.

Haaland now stands with 36 goals in all competitions this season, and 88 goals in 94 games in total in his City career.

There are still three Premier League games and the FA Cup final to go.

Jamie Redknapp also spares no expense in talking about the Norwegian superstar.

– He is put together in a different way. He is a phenomenon. Having him in our league … I just love watching him and all the goals he scores. He always wants more, says the Sky Sports expert and former Liverpool player.

He refers to Haaland as “an animal” in front of goal.

– And the mentality he has: He scored four goals today, but he was furious when he had to leave. He wanted to score more goals.

– The chance Álvarez got would have been perfect for him to get five goals. That’s what he wants – he wants to crush his opponents. He is built in a different way, Redknapp continues.

It should be said that Pep Guardiola explained that Haaland must have been frustrated and upset because he thought he should have received more free kicks – not because he was replaced.

The situation became the subject of the BBC’s Match of the Day broadcast. TV star Gary Lineker did not buy the explanation.

– I don’t think that was the reason why he was unhappy. He wanted to score more.

– It wasn’t about that, Haaland himself told the BBC about being replaced before he could score more goals.
