Sometimes, one forgets that Erling Haaland is only 22-years-old. His influence in the world of football is so phenomenal it surpasses his age.
But that is what the best in the beautiful game do, they make an immediate impact, and that is what Haaland has done in his first season with Manchester City, by netting a record 36 goals.
After their win over Chelsea on Sunday afternoon, Haaland said lifting the English Premier League title is a memory he will cherish forever.
"These are memories I will remember for the rest of my life. We’ve been fighting so hard," he told www.mancity.com.
"[I feel] unreal. I honestly don’t know what to say. You see me smiling and everything, I’m so happy!"

While he said he will enjoy this day, and lifting the title in his debut season, the Norwegian goal machine is salivating at the prospect of featuring in the FA Cup final as well as the UEFA Champions League finale.
"It’s special. I am going to enjoy this day," he said.
"It’s a special moment with the trophy. Without the club this would not be possible. It is amazing.
"Debut season, 36 goals so far, Premier League trophy and two finals left, not a bad start!"
