Champions League: Erling Haaland Scores Twice to Help Manchester City Torch Coppenhagen (5-0)
If Manchester City wasn’t Europe’s most notable juggernaut before, they are now. After acquiring Erling Haaland over the summer, the Norwegian superstar striker has done nothing but pour in goals for City at a record-setting clip. Haaland netted two goals to open the scoring Wednesday in City’s 5-0 thrashing of Coppenhagen. That gave him a whopping 19 goals in his 12 matches with City this season. He has 14 goals, including three hat tricks, in Premier League play, and now five strikes into the net in three Champions League appearances. Since signing Haaland, City is 10-2-0.
