Erling Haaland highlights INSANE detail that helped him score against Chelsea for Man City

Erling Haaland took just 18 minutes to open his goalscoring account for the 2024/25 Premier League campaign.

The defending champions Manchester City kicked off their campaign with three points after a trip to Stamford Bridge.

"I remember his save for the last year, it’s been irritating me for a long time. So that’s why I took a couple of extra touches. It was a perfect goal. It was a nice goal...

"I had a long pre-season so that’s good. I don’t actually feel perfect, I’m not in the perfect shape, but yeah it’s good to start and to win..."
