Haaland’s Performance This Season
While Haaland initially dazzled in his Manchester City tenure, his recent form in the 2025-26 season has sparked considerable discussion.
After a blistering start, the Norwegian forward has seen a downturn in his scoring, raising questions about whether Pep Guardiola’s tactical changes have impacted his involvement.
Nevertheless, top players often rise to the occasion in crucial moments. Despite a slight reduction in his goal frequency, Haaland remains the league’s premier goal scorer.
This latest goal against Arsenal marks his 23rd in the league and brings his total to 33 in all competitions.
