"I thought Bergkamp and Henry was one hell of a partnership for Arsenal back in the day, but in De Bruyne and Haaland, I think maybe it’s gone to another level.”

Haaland & De Bruyne driving City on

Erling Haaland has already broken a number of records during his short time as a Manchester City player, most recently becoming the highest goalscorer in a 38-game Premier League season. 

He now has 34 league goals and 50 in all competitions since arriving from Borussia Dortmund last summer.
