The key to Erling Haaland's imperious form for Manchester City could be down to his dad's cooking, with Alfie Haaland preparing him the same goalscoring grub ahead of every match.

The Norwegian powerhouse, 22, has rattled in a mind-boggling 19 goals in all competitions since his summer switch to the Etihad Stadium, hitting the back of the net every 48 minutes on average. At his current rate, Haaland will finish the campaign having registered 66 top-flight goals - one-quarter of the way to breaking Alan Shearer's record of 260.

Netting three consecutive Premier League hat-tricks, the ex-Borussia Dortmund frontman has added further spice to Man City's already-fiery front three.

Meanwhile, dad Alfie has been busy cooking up a storm in the kitchen with Haaland crediting his old man's lasagna for his insane goalscoring run.

"I've had it before every home game now and that turns out fairly well, so there has to be something special he adds to it," Haaland told reporters after bagging his third hat-trick in as many games. "I help out very little. I mostly lie on the couch watching him. That's the way it works."
