Having started the season fantastically, Erling Haaland has fallen into a serious slump.

Since the match against Forest on December 27, the Norwegian has scored just one goal from open play in the Premier League. The other two goals were scored from the penalty spot.

Various football applications also rate the Manchester City forward's performance poorly – the average rating during this period is below 7 points.

However, the level of play of the "City" team has not significantly dropped. They continue to collect points and pressure Arsenal at the top of the league table, with another team forward, Omar Marmoush, contributing to the good play.

Haaland is also struggling with injuries. Recently, he has missed several Man City matches.

Despite everything, the club's star has scored 22 goals in this Premier League season.
