Manchester City star Erling Haaland has now sent a drastic five-goal warning to one of his side's biggest Premier League rivals.
The match between the Citizens and Chelsea on Sunday turned out to be an exciting eight-goal thriller, with the game ending all square with a 4-4 scoreline. The Norwegian, however, has promised that, next time, his side will score even more.

Haaland netted twice to help the EPL champions claim a point to maintain their position at the top of the table, while Liverpool and Arsenal both trail the Citizens by one point.
However, the forward has expressed his disappointment at not walking out of Stamford Bridge with all three points.
"It was a tough game, I enjoyed it," Haaland told reporters after the match, per GOAL.
"Normally, when you score four goals you might win, but we didn't – that's how it is.
"We had the chance to seal the win a couple of times, but we didn't. It's something we've got to work on.
"Next time we'll have to score five.
"I feel good to score but a bit disappointed to not win. One point is better than zero.
"We've been doing really good. We're top of the league and already through in the Champions League.
"It's been a really good couple of months – better than last season to be honest. It's been a good start."
The former Borussia Dortmund star has himself made what most consider a good start to the season – the striker is the Premier League's current top scorer after netting 13 goals in 12 matches.
