Never twice in a row.
Silent last weekend against Liverpool, Erling Haaland resumed his good habits on Saturday with a brace in Manchester City's victory against Brighton (3-1).
The Norwegian was happy to bone the weak Seagulls defense, especially on his first goal, where he sent poor Adam Webster flying with a buffalo shoulder before scoring in the empty net.
We almost missed it, a goal from "Cyborg Haaland"❗️

Haaland then scored a fine penalty (no) to make the break before the break.
His 16th and 17th goals of the season, already.
It is also, by the way, City's 599th and 600th goals in the Premier League under the orders of Pep Guardiola, a milestone that only Alex Ferguson's Manchester United and Arsène Wenger's Arsenal had reached under a single coach.
In 239 games, that's a nice average of 2.5 goals per game.
In the standings, City put pressure on Arsenal by returning to a small point.
The Gunners, leaders with nine wins in ten games, travel to Southampton this Sunday afternoon.
