On the day the No. 1 striker Haaland was “harmless”, Man City had to accept defeat at Tottenham.
Part of the reason for Man City’s bitter defeat against Tottenham was Erling Haaland’s performance. The striker born in 2000 has had the worst performance ever since joining the Etihad Stadium team in the summer of 2022.
During 90 minutes on the field, Haaland could not make a single shot, not even a touch of the ball in the Tottenham penalty area. The Norwegian striker made just 27 touches, made 12 accurate passes, won 3/8 of his head-to-head encounters, created 1 chance and failed to dribble.
Hard to believe this is the statistics of the player who has scored 25 goals, monopolizing the top scorer list of the Premier League 2022/23. It seems that the changes in personnel, the sudden confusing tactics of coach Pep Guardiola, especially the decision to remove Kevin De Bruyne’s name from the starting line-up (only entering the field from the second half) made Haaland unable to promote. effective.
In the lackluster Haaland day, Harry Kane became the hero of Tottenham again with the only goal. This goal also helps the English striker become the number one scorer in Tottenham history (267 goals), reach the 200-goal mark in the Premier League and the fastest player to reach this milestone in the history of the tournament (304 matches).
In the 2022/23 season alone, Harry Kane has 17 goals, leveling the previous season’s record, and is full of opportunities to surpass 30 goals in the 2017/18 season. However, the captain of England is still 8 goals behind Haaland and can hardly keep up with his opponent in the race to the title of top scorer.
