In the week, he offered a work of art that became widely discussed and widely seen on social media. Haaland scored with an acrobatic number in one of the goals in the 5-0 win against Sparta Prague in the Champions League.
Now he struck with his eleventh league goal already after five minutes – and no more goals were offered in the match.
The matches are coming thick and fast now for the clubs that have a lot on their plate in the domestic leagues and cups as well as the international cups. City did not win the autumn match against Southampton but took the points at stake.
City leads the league, two points ahead of Liverpool but with one more match played.
Aston Villa – also active in the Champions League – led for a long time but Bournemouth equalized in added time to 1-1.
National team midfielder Jens Cajuste played from the start, but both he and Ipswich have to wait for their first win after promotion to the Premier League – and that despite leading 2-0.
Brentford turned the tables, Ipswich got a red card and nothing indicated points. Then Liam Delap struck with a 3-3 equalizer in the final minutes, followed by Bryan Mbeumo's shot sailing in to 4-3 for Brentford deep into added time. Delap then hit the post before the drama was over.
Wolverhampton managed to catch up from 0-2 to 2-2 away against Brighton through two late goals.
