National League South game abandoned after player collapses in warm-up

Cole Palmer has declared Manchester City forward Erling Haaland as the Premier League's premier player. During an interview on Sky Sports Saturday Social, Palmer, a former teammate of Haaland, singled him out as the top talent in the league. Palmer's reasoning was clear: Haaland's goal-scoring prowess is consistently on display, as evidenced by his World Cup performance for Norway, where he scored "every time, goal."

Palmer and Haaland were teammates at Manchester City before Haaland transferred to Chelsea in 2023. Since joining City, the 26-year-old striker has amassed an impressive tally of 121 goals in 141 league matches, following his move from Borussia Dortmund. Haaland's consistent scoring has earned him three Premier League Golden Boots in four seasons, and he leads the 2026/27 season with nine goals in just nine games.

Should he secure a fourth Golden Boot this campaign, Haaland would match the record held by Thierry Henry and Mohamed Salah.

On the international stage, Haaland's goal-scoring record is equally impressive, with a remarkable 65 goals in just 59 caps for the Norwegian national team.
