Constantly looking around, ready to pounce; a kind of heightened awareness which might help explain why Haaland has been so lethal for Manchester City this season. His brace against Leeds meant he reached 20 Premier League goals faster than any other player — it took him 14 games, seven fewer than the previous record-holder Kevin Phillips for Sunderland in 1999-2000 (21 games). In the following match, at home to Everton, Haaland scored the opener,…
