Erling Haaland's double on Man City Premier League debut shows what he will give champions
Manchester City's rivals clutched desperately at a collection of straws when Erling Haaland delivered a low-key performance in the Community Shield defeat against Liverpool.
When he was replaced by Julian Alvarez 12 minutes from time, Haaland had not only won the game for City with two goals but started to hone his partnership with the line of supply that will surely bring him a glut this season. City's record from the spot is notoriously chequered but Haaland was having none of that as he picked up the ball and sent Areola the wrong way before adopting his trademark Zen pose to receive the congratulation of his team-mates.
The ease with which City simply dismissed a West Ham team who many had predicted would give them the sternest of opening game tests, was a very early, very eloquent, statement of intent.
