Haaland struck for City's 1-0 win at Brentford on Sunday - a ninth consecutive game in which he has scored for club and country.
Asked if this is the best form of his career, Haaland said: “You can say so, I’ve never felt better than I do now. So yeah you can say so.

“I think it’s about preparation first of all, getting ready for the games. You can be physically ready but you need to be mentally ready as well.
“And to be honest I think with a kid, it makes me even better because I actually disconnect more than ever. I don’t think of football at all which sometimes when you’re younger you think of this and that and maybe worry a little bit about things. But when I go home I relax even more so I think I need to give a shoutout to my son!
“It was a tough game and it reminded me a bit about Stoke City with Rory Delap 15 years ago. It was lovely to win and important.
“They’re huge and do throw-ins from the middle so of course it’s not easy but it’s about preparing and being ready for what is going to come and analyse good, and we did. We have a great backroom staff that did their job really well so all praise to them.
“I think there is always space even when people are low. You just need right timing. I like when people come like this against us as well. Low block is not easy with three big centre backs and two people in front of them, five people around us at all times. That’s why it’s not easy and that’s why it feels even better.”
