It’s the first time in 30 years since Mickey Quinn (England) played for Coventry City in 1992, scoring 10 goals in just six games of his league debut. Halan already broke the division record with nine goals in five of his EPL debuts in the last game.
Haalan, from Norway, played for Red Bull Salzburg (Austria) and then joined the German Bundesliga Dortmund in January 2020. After that, Halan became the top scorer in the UEFA Champions League for the 2020-2021 season.
Ahead of this season, Halan entered the Premier League on a five-year contract with Manchester City and scored a hat-trick in a row in the fourth and fifth rounds. Hallan, who became the first to score in double digits with his 10th goal, continued to lead the league in scoring. 2nd place is 4 goals behind Aleksandar Mitrovic (Fulham, 6 goals).
Manchester City (14 points, goal difference +14), which added one point, moved down 3rd place Tottenham (14 points, goal difference +7) and moved up to second place in the league. Leading the way is Arsenal (15 points), which is on a five-game winning streak.
