EPL: Haaland breaks Rooney's record with brace in Man City vs Brentford

Manchester City striker, Erling Haaland, continued his stunning start to the new Premier League season by breaking yet another record with a goal against Brentford.

Haaland scored twice in the first half in quick succession to give City a 2-1 lead.

The champions had conceded inside 22 seconds, thanks to Yoane Wissa's header.

Haaland's goals were his eighth and ninth of this campaign.

It also meant Haaland has broken a 13-year-old record held by former Manchester United striker, Wayne Rooney.

The previous goal record in a team's first four games in a Premier League campaign was Rooney's eight for United in 2011/12.

Haaland had already broken the feat for most goals scored by a player in a team's first three matches of a Premier League campaign [7] after his hat-trick against the Hammers.
