Football lovers have reacted to viral video that shows Erling Haaland absolutely bullying Jonny Castro Otto during a Manchester City attack in their win over Wolves.
Erling Haaland is a machine in front of goal and it’s scary to think just how many he could score for the Premier League champions.
The Norwegian was again on the scoresheet in City’s 3-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday afternoon as he register his 11th Premier League goal of the season – and his 14th in all competitions.
Pep Guardiola’s side needed just 56 seconds to take the lead at Molineux as Grealish finally enjoyed a day to remember after a difficult time since joining City from Aston Villa last year.
Haaland doubled City’s advantage with his 14th goal in 10 games in all competitions following a £51 million ($58 million) move from Borussia Dortmund that already appears a bargain.
Wolves lost any chance of a fightback when Nathan Collins was sent off for an ugly stomach-high foul on Grealish in the first half.
Phil Foden capped City’s stroll in the midlands sunshine as the Premier League champions moved to the top of the table.
One moment involving Haaland from the second half has gone viral on social media.
As City launched a counter-attack after winning possession, Haaland only had one thing on his mind: get into the box.
Wolves defender Jonny saw this and did all he could to try and thwart Haaland’s progress off the ball.
But trying to stop Haaland in full flight is like trying to halt a steam train. Jonny was effortlessly pushed aside twice by City’s 6ft 5in No. 9.
Haaland’s strength and speed brought him several yards of space and he almost certainly would have scored his 15th goal of the campaign had Kevin De Bruyne picked him out.

“This is what all strikers should do in the league… Imagine the amount chances that have been stopped because the defender fouled the attacker. Once strikers starts bullying defenders back, more chances will be created and converted”
