The legend of Erling Haaland grows with each passing week. The Manchester City superstar continued his torrid campaign on Saturday, netting a brace in a 4-1 victory over relegation-threatened Southampton. In the process, the Norwegian reached the 30-goal mark in the Premier League in breathtaking fashion.
Just take a look at this banger from Haaland:

The timing and precision to hit that volley perfectly. Just unreal. Quite the assist from Jack Grealish as well, who put Haaland in a prime position to score his second goal of the game. The Englishman also found the back of the net in the win.
Erling Haaland has a firm grasp on the Golden Boot, now sitting seven goals clear of Harry Kane, who has 23 tallies to his name. Even more impressive, the youngster is up to 44 goals across all competitions for City. If there were any doubts about Haaland taking time to adjust to the style of play in England, they were quickly put to bed upon his arrival last fall.
Many believe the 22-year-old could very well be the missing piece to City's Champions League title aspirations. In Europe's most prized competition, he's bagged 10 goals in six appearances.
With another three points Saturday, Pep Guardiola's men sit five points back of Arsenal for top spot but do have a game in hand. The Gunners clash with Liverpool on Sunday at Anfield.
As for Erling Haaland, he'll be looking to keep his lethal ways going on Tuesday when City locks horns with a very strong Bayern Munich side at the Etihad.
