Hours before the Ballon d'Or ceremony, Erling Haaland achieves an important record with Manchester City

Manchester City continues to make a perfect run again in the Premier League after beating a limited Manchester United from Old Trafford. Erik ten Hag's side could not withstand the pressure from their opponents and fell soundly to a Citizen side who had no plans to waste points on their visit to their awkward neighbour Manchester. For this reason, City got the victory.

Despite having started the match evenly, a mistake by Rasmus Hojlund led to a penalty for Manchester City that was endorsed by the VAR and would finally be taken by Erling Haaland who scored without hesitation. Already in the second half, the Norwegian would get his brace and thus close a great night from the Theatre of Dreams. The player also assisted Foden to score his goal.

With this result, Manchester City has 3 important points but not enough to regain the lead. It should be noted that the team missed important matches, so Tottenham took advantage to become leaders of the Premier League. Without a doubt, Spurs have had a great season. However, Tottenham's season has certainly been no better than Haaland's.

Haaland's post-Ballon d'Or ceremony achievement

It should be noted that Erling Haaland is one of the players nominated for the Ballon d'Or. Everything seems to indicate that the dispute will be between Haaland and Lionel Messi. Undoubtedly, Haaland's concentration on football comes first. According to Fabrizio Romano, Erling Haaland has scored 45 goals in 46 Premier League games since joining Manchester City last year. Without a doubt, a great achievement
