Erling Haaland has been the best No.9 of this current generation. The big Norwegian forward has been in sensational form since joinning Manchester City. Haaland won the UEFA Champions League, the Premier League, and the FA Cup all in one season for the noisy neighbourers of United. The 23-year-old forward was the leading goalscorer in the first season in the English Premier League smashing several records in his first season, he scored 36 goals. 

In his second season he is currently leading the goalscorer list again with 17 in the ongoing season. Though he has missed some genuine and easiest chances in important matches, but he has been the side's leading striker. On Wednesday, the striker scored the all-important goal against Brentford to help his team win the game by 1-0.

By scoring against 'the Bees' he became the second player after Harry Kane to score against all opponents in the Premier League history. This feat, which the Norwegian accomplished in just his second season in England, says volumes about his goal-scoring ability and the influence he has had on the English premier league since leaving Borussia Dortmund.
