While Manchester City were dominating the game, they had little to show for it in the first half, with Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier acting like, to all intents and purposes, a brick wall in front of the goalposts. Jack Grealish, the Manchester City winger, fumbled several opportunities and Haaland couldn’t get himself in a position to utilize his unreal finishing ability. Rodri, the Manchester City midfielder, finally put one in the back of the net after a late rebound in the first minute of the first half’s extra time.

Then Haaland with the assistance of Grealish scored two goals in the 51st and 64th minute, one of them being a perfect one-touch, mid-air finisher into the left side of the net past the goalkeeper after a beautiful pass over the Leeds defense by Jack Grealish that had pundits and viewers delighted. The victory resulted in Manchester City being 5 points behind Arsenal.

With those two goals, the Norwegian prodigy became the player who scored the fastest 20 goals in Premier League history after only 14 games into the season. To realize what a great achievement that is, Cristiano Ronaldo had scored only 18 goals the whole of last season and the title holder before Haaland, the iconic Thierry Henry, could only score 20 goals after 34 games.
