Erling Haaland

Rio Ferdinand believes Erling Haaland's ability to score 'out of nothing' helps his Manchester City colleagues to 'elevate' their performances.

The goal marked the quickest goal that has been scored by any player in the Premier League so far this season. With the goal, the Norwegian ace managed to etch his name in English footballing folklore as the first player to bag goals in each of his first four away games in the season. Grealish was the first to feature on the scoreline, as he managed to find the back of the net in the dying seconds of the first minute after kick-off.

Erling Haaland also became the first player in the competition's history to score in each of his first four Premier League away games.

It was his 14th goal of the season in all competitions and the goal machine looks nowhere close to being run out of fuel. The possibilities and the potential this player has is endless. On Saturday against a hapless Wolves side, the Norwegian giant scored in his seventh straight match for Manchester City and sent countless records tumbling.

[Bernardo Silva](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/bernardo-silva). Nonetheless, City manager Pep Guardiola has declared that there is still room for improvement in Haaland's game, in what is a stark warning for the reigning champions' domestic rivals. "But at the age he is, and I think he has ambition, he wants to be better, and I think he will be better. He's a nice guy and this is the most important thing.

Erling Haaland scored again for Man City, who had an easy afternoon after Wolves went down to 10 men after 33 minutes.

Haaland now has 14 goals in 10 matches in all competitions (11 in the Premier League) and has only failed to hit the net in two matches this season for City. Man City: Amid the international break, Man City will have time to prepare for the derby, with Manchester United visiting the blue half of the city on Oct. - City are now unbeaten in their last 22 away league matches with a record of 16-6-0 (W-D-L). In between the first two goals we were there, but they scored in a transition. [Nathan Collins](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/279780/Nathan-Collins) jumped for a loose ball and caught Grealish in the midriff with his studs, receiving a straight red card. We struggled a lot after half-time until Phil's [Foden] goal so a lot of credit to Wolves." However, if your ability to pick up points is based on keeping it tight at the back then you need to make sure you don't concede inside a minute and have one of your centre-backs sent off before half-time. Bruno Lage did a good job at Molineux last season but he needs to get his team scoring soon if he's to avoid being dragged into the Premier League's sack race. A deserved red card followed, and with it, any chance of Wolves' salvaging something from the game disappeared. And, what do you know, three days after lasting 58 minutes against Dortmund, Grealish was happy again -- taking just 55 seconds to score his first goal of the season to put City 1-0 up. The 22-year-old will probably feel he could have had more, especially after Collins was sent off for an ugly-looking challenge on Grealish, but in the second half Pep Guardiola's side seemed content with knocking the ball around and running down the clock. Wolves were 2-0 down and a man down after just 33 minutes and at that point the home supporters inside Molineux were fearing the worst.

Erling Haaland has scored Manchester City's second goal in their Premier League clash with Wolves.
