The ONLY man capable of stopping Erling Haaland is Pep Guardiola! Winners & losers as Man City's subbed destroyer brings up goal No.47 inside 45 minutes

Erling Haaland is making a mockery of other Premier League strikers.

Mohamed Salah's 32 goals in the 2017-18 season was held up as an anomaly in modern football but Haaland has already equalled the Egyptian's mark after bagging two goals against struggling Leicester in the space of 12 minutes.

John Stones also had an afternoon to remember - as well as a nice rest after half-time - as he underlined his brilliant form with a cracking strike from outside the area to get City off the mark.

Leicester may have given City a small fright at the end after Kelechi Iheanacho pulled a goal back but overall this was a very comfortable afternoon for City.
