Erling Haaland is back to his best after leading Manchester City to a historic fourth consecutive Premier League title with four goals against Wolves.
Even when it puts you in danger, there are moments when you just have to admire greatness.
Even the Wolves analysts sitting in the stands could only smile ruefully, filled with admiration and wonder, when Erling Haaland scored his fourth goal with a sublime curling finish.
Their responsibility is to evaluate match data and communicate it to the technical area while the game is in progress, but no amount of mathematical manipulation could have stopped Haaland’s magnificent goal.
The goal machine for Manchester City was simply unstoppable, and despite missing two months of the season due to injury, he now has 36 goals from 41 games across all competitions this season.
Compared to the previous season, when he scored 52 goals in 53 games, this season has been relatively quiet by his high standards. However, Haaland is back to his best at the perfect time for City.
With three games remaining in an intense title battle with Arsenal, Haaland’s comeback could finally propel Pep Guardiola’s team to a record-tying fourth consecutive league title.
The figures from Haaland are very impressive. In his two seasons at City, he has scored 88 goals from 94 games, which is more than he scored in his three years at Borussia Dortmund, where he scored 86 from 89 games.
With 24 Premier League goals this season, he is four goals ahead of Alexander Isak of Newcastle and Cole Palmer of Chelsea, and he is poised to win the Golden Boot for a second consecutive year.

Haaland is also chipping away at Arsenal’s goal differential advantage over City, which is currently down to six, and could prove to be significant with seven goals in his last four league games.
“I try to score goals, that’s what I’m best at,” Haaland stated. “Just take a look at the players surrounding me; I play for an amazing team. Without them, it would not be possible. Both the club and the boys have experienced this over the years. Using my knowledge from the previous year, I need to concentrate on each game individually.
We must persevere, push, maintain our confidence, and maintain our focus. Focus on the current game before moving on to the next one; we’re on a mission.
City’s next games are at Fulham on Saturday lunchtime, at the Etihad Stadium against Tottenham on the third day, and against West Ham on the last day of the season.
Guardiola is aware of the magnitude of the task that lies ahead of him and his team, even though City is the clear favorite to defeat Arsenal and maintain their league-leading position.

Guardiola remarked, “Fulham has always been really tough for us and Spurs.” “Apart from the FA Cup.
“The fact that we’ve never won there in the Premier League means that our current situation won’t be easy, but it’s only one week and three games, and the most important thing is that we have control over it.
The players are aware of this, feel it, and have done it before if we win the games and go on to become champions. They must repeat the process. Will this be a simple task? No, but that’s all in our control. We now have a long week ahead of us, and the players understand that we need everyone.
“We’ll take a few days off to rest before traveling to Fulham at 12:30 on Saturday and Spurs on Tuesday. Ideally, we’ll be here before West Ham and have a chance to win it.”
