Watching Manchester City playing the Premier League and Champions League feels a bit like playing a computer game in cheat mode doesn’t it. Code: Haaland.
Erling Haaland was taken off at half-time on Wednesday evening and so missed an attempt at what would have been a fourth hat-trick for Manchester City.
With or without him, City were far too quick and clever for their Danish opponents and would have ended up with more than five goals from a totally one-sided match if not for Copenhagen keeper Kamil Grabara.
Can you believe Erling Haaland only got two goals last night? Only joking.
Yep, the Norwegian forward played another big part in another thumping Manchester City victory, this time at home in the Champions League to Copenhagen.
Elsewhere, Graham Potter looks to be in the groove at Chelsea, with the new boss seeing his side play some good stuff in an emphatic win over AC Milan at Stamford Bridge.
A night to forget for Joe Hart and Celtic at RB Leipzig but another that England’s rising midfield star Jude Bellingham will remember fondly after delivering a captain’s performance, with a goal and assist in a comprehensive Borussia Dortmund win.
Outrageous Haaland
Man City 5-0 Copenhagen
This fella. Honestly. Competitive matches played for Manchester City = 11. Goals = 19.
Average: 1.73 per game.
Not quite as effective when it comes to the Champions League mind. Ahem.
