Erling Braut Haaland does not intend to put an end to his scoring drive for the time being. After his hat-trick against Manchester United last weekend, he was again accurate twice in the Champions League match against FC Copenhagen on Wednesday evening (5-0 win). The Norwegian star player has now scored 19 goals in 12 official games since his arrival from Borussia Dortmund. Goalkeeper Kamil Grabara of Copenhagen is also amazed by the numbers.
Haaland only needed seven minutes to find the net against Copenhagen as well. After a cross from the right side of João Cancelo, the striker made a good hit with the right. After half an hour of play, he was in the right place to work a rebound from Sergio Gómez against the ropes. Jack Grealish also added afterwards BT Sport to be amazed by the performance of his colleague. “It’s unbelievable, I’ve never experienced anything like this in my life,” said the Englishman.

“I just had to laugh at the first or second goal, because he is always there and always finishes it. It is a great pleasure to play with him,” said Grealish, who had a chat with Grabara. “When I walked back after one of his goals, their goalkeeper said something to me. At first I didn’t understand him. He said: ‘That’s not a human being.’ I had to laugh. It’s unbelievable. He’s so humble. And I’m not the only one who makes him great. That’s the honest truth of God. Hopefully he can continue this mold and bring us success.”

Grealish himself was unhappier in the rounding. The winger produced six shots, three of which were saved by a superb Grabara. Nevertheless, the England international was pleased with his performance and admitted to feeling good about the squad again. “I think it’s great at the moment. I’ve enjoyed my last three or four games. I feel like myself again and play with freedom and confidence. It was nice to have been on the scoreboard, but it’s about enjoying and the result. We did that.”
