They say form is temporary, but for Erling Haaland, it seems to be a permanent state of being. The Norwegian scoring sensation has transformed finding the back of the net into a relentless habit, a fact he underscored once again with a masterful performance against Everton.

The first half was a frustrating affair, a tactical stalemate that seemed to frustrate the Citizens. But as the second half began, a familiar script started to unfold. The breakthrough came in the 58th minute. As the ball sailed into the area from O’Riley's boot, it was Haaland, soaring with unmistakable intent, who met it with a powerful header that left Jordan Pickford with no chance. The deadlock was broken.

Yet, he was far from finished. Just four minutes later, as if to remind everyone that his threat is constant, he was on the move again. A slick pass from Savinho found its way to his feet, and in one fluid, first-time motion, he dispatched the ball past the goalkeeper. In the blink of an eye, a tense contest had become a commanding display, all thanks to the striker's devastating efficiency.

This brace wasn't just another two goals; it extended his astonishing scoring streak to 11 consecutive games. When you look at the broader picture, the numbers become almost surreal. Across his last 11 outings for both Manchester City and the Norwegian national team, the net has rippled 21 times because of him. His dominance in the current campaign is such that failing to score has become a notable anomaly, with the lone blank against Tottenham standing out precisely because it is so rare.

At just 25 years of age, Haaland isn't just playing; he is rewriting the record books. He currently sits atop the Premier League scoring charts with 11 goals, leaving his closest pursuer, Antoine Semenyo, trailing in his wake with six. Perhaps most impressively, this marks the third time in his already storied career that he has blasted through the 10-goal barrier within the first eight rounds of the league—a historic achievement that no other player in the history of the competition can claim. For everyone else, it's a record; for Haaland, it's simply becoming routine.
