Manchester City were shocked after 22 seconds when Brentford scored at the Etihad.
But the champions eventually turned it all around thanks to their star man up top.
Kevin De Bruyne’s slick pass nutmegged a Brentford player in the box, and the ball found a lurking Erling Haaland.
The striker swivelled toward the goal and struck into the far left corner without looking for his eighth goal in four matches.
The most prolific goalscoring start we’ve ever seen to a Premier League season! 👏 Erling Haaland 👏–
And he didn’t stop there! Haaland secured a brace roughly 10 minutes later with his ninth of the season after he received a ball over the top from Ederson.
The striker beat his man and calmly turned the game 2-1 for Pep Guardiola’s side.
Just how high can he go this season?
