Kane’s new goal: Haaland’s pass – VG

(Cologne-Bayern 0-1) Harry Kane’s goal machine continues to provide goals. He scored on Friday in his seventh consecutive match with Bayern.

As a result, he also surpassed Erling Braut Haaland in goals for the 2023 calendar year.

In 52 appearances, the Englishman has now scored 49 goals. Haaland has one score less with four more games to play.

Against Cologne on Friday night, Kane scored the only goal of the game with a simple touch from a loose ball. Bayern could have scored more goals, but they maintained three points at the top of the standings before Bayer Leverkusen, led by Xabi Alonso, met Werder Bremen on Saturday.

The result was Kane’s 18th goal in 12 matches BundesligaBundesligaThe highest level in the German league system this chapter.

Both Kane and Haaland are scoring goals on a regular basis, but who is really the better of the two at the moment? Lars Tiarnas, football expert at Viaplay, disputes the answer:

– It’s twisted, actually. The correct answer is that they are best for different things at different stages of the game. Simply put: Kane is the best to play with, and Haaland is the worst to play against. I narrowly chose Haaland, because he has the toughness to create more on his own, Tjærnås tells VG.

Ståle Solbakken responded as follows in a press conference during the national team meeting last week:

– Erling, Kane and Mbappe. In this order.

Haaland gets the chance to equal Kane on Saturday. Pep Guardiola expressed his optimism about the Norwegian striker’s readiness to meet Liverpool.

– He trained yesterday. But, yes, it is the last training today and we hope he can play, as the City manager said in the last press conference before the big confrontation between the two teams.

Kane has an average of 1.5 goals per game in the Bundesliga. He is on track to beat Robert Lewandowski’s season record (41 goals in 29 games) as of 2020/21, writes NTB.
