Erling Haaland is off the mark for the 2024/25 campaign as the Norwegian striker has opened the scoring against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge with a world-class finish.
The 24-year-old has been the Premier League’s top scorer for the previous two seasons and the Man City star has begun the defence of that title by scoring during the Manchester club’s opening game of the new term.
The goal came when a ball into the box from Jeremy Doku eventually fell to Haaland and the Norway international showed his strength before producing a world-class finish past Robert Sanchez in the Chelsea net.
