A One Man Scoring Machine
Erling Haaland continues to dominate the Premier League goal charts this season. With 13 goals so far, his nearest rival Danny Welbeck trails by seven, and half the teams in the league have scored fewer goals in total than Haaland alone.
Pep Guardiola once famously apologized for calling Tottenham “Harry Kane’s team.” Now, he might need to admit Manchester City are “Haaland’s team.”
The Norwegian striker’s influence has never been stronger. Even considering his past record-breaking form, his current impact is extraordinary.

Haaland Leads the Way Again
With Kevin De Bruyne gone, Guardiola has unleashed Haaland’s most lethal qualities. In City’s 3–1 win over Bournemouth, Haaland scored twice in the first half — both goals showing his trademark speed and clinical finishing.
Those goals brought his Premier League tally to 13 out of City’s total 19. Later, young Nico O’Reilly added a smart finish to seal the win. Amusingly, City’s second-top scorer this season remains Burnley defender Maxime Estève — courtesy of an own goal.

The Risk of Overreliance
City’s dependence on Haaland has raised fair questions. In the two league games he failed to score — against Spurs and Aston Villa — City didn’t find the net either. When Haaland doesn’t fire, the entire system stutters.
Yet, when he’s in rhythm like this, trying to play differently feels unnecessary. Against Bournemouth, his speed, timing, and precision turned the tide instantly. Even when Bournemouth equalized, Haaland responded almost immediately with another unstoppable solo strike.
Bournemouth deserve credit — their organization and resilience under Andoni Iraola have impressed. Still, against Haaland, even the best game plan can collapse in seconds.

Arsenal Beware City Are Back
This win was more than just three points. It was a message. Manchester City are still Arsenal’s biggest — and perhaps only — real title threat this season.
The league table now looks familiar again: Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool leading the pack. Bournemouth’s brave performance keeps them in the top six conversation, but against a force like Haaland, even their best effort wasn’t enough.
Haaland is more than City’s top scorer — he’s the difference between good and unbeatable. Bournemouth fought with intelligence and heart, but what they lacked was exactly what Haaland provides: a relentless, world-class finisher.
