Remember, remember the fifth of November: the day Erling Haaland met his match in Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres?
Erling Haaland rarely settles for second place. But on Tuesday against Sporting, he was completely upstaged by another striker. Haaland has a staggering 17 goals in 19 matches for club and country this season but that is nothing compared to Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres, whose hat-trick in the 4-1 win over City has put him on 27 in 21. The gulf between the two forwards on the night could not have been greater, with Gyokeres ending up with the match ball.
As seen in the first and last strikes against Estrela Amadora last week, the Swedish forward likes to attack or move off the left wing to get goal-scoring chances. 'He scored a lot of goals coming off the left like this for St Pauli, a lot of goals,' recalls Viveash. 'When he was playing as a No 9, we wanted him to trust that his team-mate was going to arrive in that left space and he could attack the front or the middle zones. In the end, he got some really good goals.
