Erling Haaland set a Premier League scoring record in Manchester City바카라s 3-1 win over Leeds on Wednesday.

At this pace, it won바카라t be his last.

Haaland scored twice to become the fastest player to 20 goals. The Norwegian star, who was born in Leeds, reached the mark in 14 games.

Not a bad homecoming.

바카라For me, as a striker, I could have scored a couple more but that바카라s life, what can I do? I have to practice more,바카라 Haaland told Amazon Prime.

City바카라s victory at Elland Road reduced first-place Arsenal바카라s lead to five points.

Rodri gave the visitors the lead on the stroke of halftime when he tucked in from close range after goalkeeper Illan Meslier parried a Riyad Mahrez shot.

Haaland doubled City바카라s advantage six minutes into the second half after Jack Grealish pounced on a weak pass by Liam Cooper and raced clear to set up the Norwegian for a tap-in.

That was Haaland바카라s 25th goal for City in 20 appearances in all competitions. He scored his 26th in the 64th minute to make it 3-0 after another assist from Grealish. He later missed out on a fourth hat trick of the season when he shot tamely at Meslier.

Leeds scored in the 73rd minute when Pascal Struijk headed home from a corner.

Haaland beat Kevin Phillips바카라 quickest-to-20 goals record 바카라 set in 1999-20 with Sunderland 바카라 by seven games.

Haaland바카라s father, Alf-Inge, was on hand to watch Wednesday.

바카라With my father in the (stands) over there, it바카라s special,바카라 the 22-year-old Haaland said. 바카라I am happy today, it바카라s a really special moment in my career... It바카라s my craziest fantasy that I could be at Elland Road and score for Manchester City against Leeds.바카라
