Erling Haaland compared to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo after matching Premier League record MCFC
'Astounded' - Man United star McTominay escapes punishment after clash with ColemanBrighton denied two goals and a red card by VAR as Harry Kane wins fiery clash for SpursGordon fumes after being substituted - but Howe insists he has 'no problem' with wingerGuardiola praised Haaland’s second goal“We have lived two incredible decades with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, but he is on that level,” he told BBC Sport.
“The second goal was amazing. It is not easy to pick the ball up in the sky and put it on the grass.” The stats show Haaland is some way behind Messi and Ronaldo’s record goal haul in a season, however. The Argentine netted a whopping 73 goals in the 2011/12 campaign, while the Portuguese icon scored 61 in 2014/15.Haaland’s first goal against Southampton came from a beautiful Kevin De Bruyne cross and some classic movement in the box from the striker.
But his second was an incredible piece of skill, pulling off an acrobatic overhead kick as he connected with the ball sweetly from a Jack Grealish cross.But after moving to City for £51million last summer, there is no doubt that the Norwegian has already paid back that fee.
