Erling Haaland is back.

Haaland was once again in Manchester City's starting lineup, marking his 50th league start for City. With 2 goals in the match, Haaland can now add another checkmark to his list of Premier League records. With 52 goals in 50 Premier League starts, Haaland is the highest-scoring player in the first 50 starts in Premier League history.

Haaland may be the biggest goal scorer in the football world right now, and with two goals over the weekend, he is once again the top scorer in the Premier League. Even though he doesn't have the same goal-per-game ratio as last season when he was almost superhuman, one must still tip the hat to his past achievements and the things he is accomplishing in the current season.

Haaland has struggled with injuries this season, but now he is back, and it doesn't seem like he has lost his goal-scoring form during his break. With 2 goals over the weekend against Everton, he once again became the match-winner. With the Champions League ball in the coming week, it seems to be the right time for him to start finding his form again.
