Fans say the same thing about ‘frightening’ Haaland on Man City Prem debut

PREMIER LEAGUE fans were blown away as they got their first glimpse of "frightening" Erling Haaland.

Manchester City's new strike sensation netted both goals in his side's 2-0 opening day win at West Ham.

Haaland, 22, sealed the victory in the second half with a smart finish from an incisive breakaway.

But it was the penalty he won, and converted, before the break that really got tongues wagging.

£51.4million Haaland showed off his trademark rapid acceleration as he managed to reach a through ball and poke the Hammers' sub keeper Alphonse Areola, who could only bring him down.

He then placed the ball on the spot, sprinted his run-up and rifled into the bottom corner, all in the blink of an eye.

And it left rival fans petrified of what is to come this season.

One viewer said: "Haaland is absolutely frightening. He’s massive and he’s rapid."

A second user added: "How fast is Haaland that acceleration is ridiculous."

Another two users highlighted Haaland's size, with the first saying: "Haaland is too big to be that fast, makes no sense."

The other added: "I cannot believe how fast Haaland is for his size. That guy is not human."

One user also tried to imagine what facing Haaland on the pitch must be like, declaring: "Having Haaland run at you must be terrifying."

City's victory earned them an early edge over Premier League title rivals Liverpool, who dropped points against Fulham on Saturday.

£85m striker Darwin Nunez netted the Reds' first equaliser after coming off the bench, before Mo Salah earned a point late on at Craven Cottage.
