Haaland took his count of English Head Association objectives in his most memorable season with City to 30
His most memorable objective, a short proximity header, could never have been simpler. His second basically blew the mind
SOUTHAMPTON, Britain: Erling Haaland set himself with his back to the goal, backed away from his opponent, and leapt high to score an acrobatic scissor kick into the bottom corner.
Headers, tap-ins, and majestic flying volleys The striker for Manchester City really has no limits.
With a double in Saturday’s 4-1 victory over Southampton, Haaland increased his tally of English Premier League goals in his first season with City to 30. The victory kept the pressure on Arsenal in the race for the title.
It wasn’t hard for him to score his first goal, a header from close range. The next thing he said completely blew my mind.
Haaland sat on the ground and performed a zen-like celebration after stunningly volleying in the goal to meet Jack Grealish’s cross. In a little while, he was snickering at the splendor of his own objective — his 44th in all rivalries for City this season.
If City win the FA Cup and Champions League, they might still have 18 games to play. Haaland appears destined to score fifty goals.
City manager Pep Guardiola stated, “We lived two incredible decades with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, but (Haaland) is on that level.”
City, in the interim, are on one of those finish of-season winning runs that has turned into their brand name. Make that eight straight triumphs in all rivalries — the group’s best dash of the time — to truly come down on Stockpile, which takes an important lead into their match at Liverpool on Sunday.
On the south coast, Julian Alvarez and Grealish scored City’s other goals.
Guardiola stated, “I would like to be in the position Arsenal is in.” That would be awesome.
Frank Lampard’s return to Chelsea was not the one he had anticipated.
His second season as the team’s manager began with a 1-0 defeat at Wolverhampton in a match that probably meant more to the host team, which is one of many teams competing for promotion. With a rasping first-time shot into the far corner, Matheus Nunes scored.
While Chelsea moves on to a competition that will define their season’s end, the Champions League, the win moves Wolves four points ahead of the bottom three.
Chelsea visit Genuine Madrid in the main leg of the quarterfinals on Wednesday, with Lampard giving N’Golo Kante the end of the week off to guarantee he is fit after a long injury.
After Graham Potter was fired as coach, Lampard, a former Chelsea player and manager, was named interim coach until the end of the season. He is still learning about his expensively assembled team, which is currently in 11th place.
Lampard stated, “There has been a lot of change, and that’s not an excuse, but things need to improve, and I think that performance summed it up.” Lampard’s statement was followed by a quote:
ROYAL VISITORS Prince William and his oldest child, Prince George, were at Villa Park to see if the team could maintain its regal image in the league. William is known to be a fan of Aston Villa. They weren’t let down.

After all, Leicester might not be very good enough to lose.
Without a director in the wake of terminating Brendan Rodgers last end of the week, Leicester look progressively without any expectation of keeping awake subsequent to getting beaten by modest Bournemouth 1-0 for a seventh misfortune in their last eight association games.
With eight games left, Leicester remained in last place, two points from safety.
Britain midfielder James Maddison, one of Leicester’s many laid out internationals, was to be faulted for the main objective in the wake of playing a visually impaired backpass that was jumped on by Philip Charging. He came home in the 40th position.
Forest and fourth-place Everton, tied for points, joined Leicester in the relegation zone.
Bournemouth and West Ham moved three points clear of the bottom three after Harrison Reed’s own goal at Fulham gave them a 1-0 victory.
