Manchester City could have capitalized on Arsenal’s slip-up on Sunday to move within two points of the Premier League leaders. However, that didn’t happen – . Erling Haaland played a tragic match. There are as many as three “0”s next to his name in the stats.
Nightmare Erling Haaland. Didn’t help Manchester City
Haaland stayed on the pitch throughout the match, but did not stand out with anything outstanding. This is a novelty when it comes to Manchester City matches. So far, the Norwegian has been the leader of Pep Guardiola’s team in almost every game. On Sunday, he failed to take a single shot on goal from Hugo Lloris. This is the first time in his Premier League history.
As if that were not enough, the 22-year-old did not even touch the ball in Tottenham’s penalty area, as noted by analysts from Whoscored.com. In addition, in the entire meeting, Haaland never dribbled his rivals. This is indeed an unprecedented situation, given the Norwegian’s cosmic form this season.

Journalist Terry Flewers noted that Haaland had yet to score a single goal away against “big rivals”. The Norwegian has failed to beat the goalkeeper in away clashes with Tottenham, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.
“The situation with Haaland and the impact on City’s play beautifully illustrates how complex the sport of pika nona is. For years, MC was supposed to be missing a “9”. Suddenly someone came in who loads over 20 goals in six months, but maybe the team does not come out in the end.” – assessed Maciej Łuczak from “Meczyki”.
Manchester City is second in the Premier League with 45 points. Haaland has scored 25 goals in 19 league games this season.
