Manchester City star Erling Haaland pulled off a magnificent strike against Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday (October 26).

Haaland's early goal propelled Manchester City FC to the pinnacle of the English Premier League standings, following their slender victory over the Saints.

The Norwegian scored an absolutely stunning acrobatic goal in the 5th minute of the match. A cross sent in from the left-hand side from Matheus Nunes was bundled in by Haaland, who somehow poked his left boot out and found the net before toppling back side gaming pressure from a Southampton defender.

The 24-year-old has now found the net 11 times in the league so far this season, with the latest strike taking his total tally to 14 goals this season. The goal also ended Haaland's mini drought of three matches across all competitions.

City couldn't extend their lead in the match as Haaland himself missed a couple of chances, but managed to hold on to their lead. The victory has now taken Man City two points clear on top of the Premier League table.

The Norway international will be aiming to continue his scoring spree as the Cityzens next meet Tottenham in the EFL Cup before their away trip to Bournemouth on next Saturday (November 2).
