The new season of the Premier League ushered in the first round of matches this weekend. The highlight of the first round of matches kicked off at Stamford Bridge this morning, with defending champion Manchester City away challenging Chelsea. This match also has special significance for Haaland. Although he failed to lead Norway to the European Cup this summer, he started this game and ushered in his 100th appearance in all competitions in his Manchester City career. Previously, Haaland played 99 times for the Blue Moon, contributing 90 goals and 15 assists, and his offensive efficiency is quite terrifying.

The game was dull at the beginning, but in the 18th minute, Haaland started his performance. Doku cut in from the left and passed the ball. Haaland took the ball and passed between two defenders. Facing the goalkeeper who came out, he shot and scored. This is the third consecutive season that Haaland has scored in the first round of the Premier League. In the 2022-23 season, Haaland just landed in the first round of the Premier League and contributed 2 goals against West Ham United. Last season, Haaland scored twice in the first round of the Premier League against Burnley. Although the first goal was quite calm, Haaland was silent in the subsequent games. Haaland, who played the whole game, had a total of 17 touches and 3 successful passes, but Haaland still led the team to beat the Blues away.

Haaland, who has scored in the first round of the Premier League for three consecutive seasons, has become the second player in Manchester City. The previous player to do this for the Blue Moon was David Silva. If Haaland's previous time at Dortmund is included, Haaland has scored 9 goals in the first round of the top five leagues, becoming the player with the most first-round goals in the same period. The second is Salah of Liverpool, who scored 6 goals. When representing Manchester City in 20 league games against the Premier League BIG6, Haaland has participated in 22 goals (15 goals and 7 assists). In the previous two seasons, Haaland has won the Premier League Golden Boot for two consecutive years with 36 goals and 27 goals respectively. Can the Norwegian striker continue to dominate the Premier League scorer list this season?
