Haaland Scores in Nine Consecutive Premier League Matches for Man City

Erling Haaland has started the 2025-26 Premier League season in exceptional form, scoring nine goals in seven league games and maintaining a nine-game scoring streak for club and country combined. His ninth-minute goal secured Manchester City's 1-0 win over Brentford, marking a key contribution as City led the Premier League in goals scored in 2025 with 55. Haaland credits his improved performance and mental readiness to fatherhood, which helps him disconnect from football and relax more effectively. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, who reached 250 Premier League wins faster than any other manager, praised Haaland's importance but emphasized the need for other players, particularly wingers, to increase their goal contributions. Despite City's dominance in the match, they struggled to extend their lead and faced pressure from Brentford late in the game. Haaland's scoring consistency is notable, having scored at 22 of 23 Premier League stadiums, the highest ratio for a player appearing at multiple grounds.
