The 'most Erling Haaland video ever' goes viral after amazing Man City start | OneFootball

Erling Braut Haaland; is he man or machine?

Of course, we know deep down he is a human being, but the way the Manchester City striker is playing right now is worthy of a footballing robot.

In fact, to say Haaland has displayed machine-like efficiency in sky blue thus far would probably be an understatement.

During his first 12 appearances for City, the 22-year-old superstar has scored 19 goals, with 14 of them coming in eight Premier League outings.

Haaland has already scored three hat-tricks in the English top-flight as well, including one in an emphatic 6-3 victory over Manchester United at the Etihad.

Yeah, the ponytailed behemoth is something else alright and his numbers at the end of the season will likely resemble something we only thought possible by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo at their absolute peaks.

In the wake of Haaland's terrifyingly good start at City, a video which sums up the seemingly unstoppable nature of the striker has gone viral on social media.

How do you stop Haaland?

Back in March, Norway took on Armenia in an international friendly and the Scandinavian nation came away with a hugely impressive 9-0 victory.

Haaland, of course, was on the scoresheet - twice actually. The City man's goals came after Armenia were reduced to 10 men in the 17th minute of play.

And it was the red card incident where Haaland took on the form of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the famous Terminator film series.

The former Borussia Dortmund man was flattened by a cynical last man foul from Arman Hovhannisyan, who was correctly red carded for the rash challenge.

But the tackle had little to no effect on Haaland. Instead, it was Hovhannisyan who came off far worse and had to be taken off the field of play on a stretcher.

It really is 'the most Haaland video ever', isn't it?

Here's some of the best reaction from fans to the footage:

But while he was able to shrug off Hovhannisyan's ill-timed tackle, Haaland's evening against Armenia in March did come to a premature end.

The forward appeared to suffer a nasty-looking ankle injury from another poor challenge by an opposing player.

A still image of the incident didn't look great at all...

However, Haaland managed to play a full 90 minutes for Dortmund away at RB Leipzig just a few days later, which only strengthens the 'he's actually a robot' argument to be honest.
