After scoring in Manchester City’s Premier League victory over Brentford, Erling Haaland created yet another incredible record.
The fear that City would give Liverpool the upper hand in the Premier League title race if they lost Tuesday’s game at the Etihad Stadium.
After Jurgen Klopp’s team defeated Brentford 4-1 on Saturday and City drew 1-1 with Chelsea, Liverpool led City by four points at the start of play.
Pep Guardiola’s team dominated possession and produced numerous opportunities, but Brentford held strong and City was unable to break through in the first 70 minutes.
At last, as the crowd inside the Etihad Stadium grew agitated, Haaland took advantage of a careless error made by Bees center-back Kristoffer Ajer to score unchallenged and put past Mark Flekken.
Haaland’s first goal against Brentford came from a low shot into the bottom corner; the previous season, he was unable to score against Thomas Frank’s team.
In his 55 league games, the Norwegian striker has now found the back of the net 53 times against all 22 teams he has faced in the Premier League.
Despite Haaland’s second goal being disallowed by VAR for offside, the home team ultimately prevailed 1-0 and extended their Premier League winning streak to ten games thanks to his goal.
Now, just one point separates Guardiola’s team from the league leaders Liverpool, who take on Luton Town on Wednesday at Anfield.
On Sunday, March 10, City and Liverpool will square off at Anfield in a match that might have a significant impact on who wins the Premier League trophy at the end of the campaign.
