Jamie Carragher was left stunned by Erling Haaland for his dominant display for Manchester City in their 4-1 mauling of Arsenal.
Courtesy of a Kevin De Bruyne brace, a John Stones goal and a late finish from the £51.2 million (Eurosport) man, City may well have decided where the league title will be headed at the end of the season.
As Erling Haaland stood out for Manchester City alongside his co-conspirator in the Belgian maestro against Arsenal, Jamie Carragher singled out the former for praise.
Carragher praises Haaland masterclass as Manchester City take Arsenal apart
The 22-year-old’s impact on his Sky Blues side has been branded as ‘astonishing’ by Rio Ferdinand in the past, as he continues to prove his status as the best striker in the world bar none.
Setting up Kevin De Bruyne’s stunning opener with a gorgeous touch and hold-up play, whilst assisting his elite partner-in-crime once again, Haaland was unplayable at the Etihad Stadium.
Before Manchester City striker Erling Haaland found the back of the net against Arsenal, Jamie Carragher praised his all-round showing.
“Haaland has been a goalscoring machine all season but tonight, even without scoring, it’s been one of his best performances for Man City. He’s more than a goalscorer. He bullied Arsenal all night and that comes from City going more direct at times.”
After the Norwegian wonderkid scored to break Mohamed Salah’s goal record for a single season in the Premier League, the Liverpool legend added, “Was just about to tweet this” after screenshotting the tweet that was in his drafts.
Once again, the youngster proved against Mikel Arteta’s side that he is indeed an astoundingly well-rounded No.9 at such a young age.
Jamie Carragher, much like the world watching Manchester City take the London-based side apart were awestruck by how immaculate Erling Haaland was on the day.
