Unlike Haaland, who is a specialist goalscorer, Joao Pedro has played as a midfielder, number 10 and winger during his career and possesses a more rounded skillset.
Alonso, who made 195 appearances alongside former Ballon d’Or winner Benzema at Real Madrid, said there were also similarities between the Frenchman and Joao Pedro.
“In many things he reminds me of Benzema, because he is good in the box, he is good
James McAtee (Nottingham Forest): He absolutely ran the game at Anfield from start to finish. Getting on the ball in the pockets, half-turn, playing forward. He was the reason they were any good, and he’s very, very good, but won’t be spoken about in the same breath as the goalscorers.
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United): There’s not much more to say. Captain Fantastic, three goals, an assist, and nearly scored from
It was goal number 100 for Haaland on Tuesday, but goals 101 and 102 could have come just as easily.

Erling Haaland became the quickest player to reach 100 goals in Premier League history on a night when Manchester City ramped up pressure on leaders Arsenal by fending off Fulham’s impressive fightback.
Norway international Haaland got his landmark goal in the 17th minute of Tuesday’s game at Craven Cottage, firing in first time from Jeremy Doku’s cross.
It meant he reached the century in 111 league games, 13 fewer than
Manchester City prevailed in a nine-goal feast at Fulham thanks to the sort of attacking display that would normally have title rivals quaking in their boots.
Unfortunately for Pep Guardiola’s side, City’s defensive display will have had those same rivals sighing with relief.
City led 5-1 early in the second half after a 100th Premier League goal for Erling Haaland, a Phil Foden double, one from Tijjani Reijnders, and Sander

For many, the prolific Haaland has been a locked-in captain choice in the past few weeks, but I was willing to bet against him and consider alternatives in gameweek 12 with a trip to Newcastle.
That was until I saw how good City – and Haaland – were against Liverpool. Haaland continued his electric scoring form in the international break and it feels far too risky to back against him
Guardiola’s men were edged out at Villa for a third league loss of the campaign, raising concern over how much that setback would impact them.
But City have responded with back-to-back wins by despatching Swansea in the Carabao Cup in midweek and collecting three crucial points against a Bournemouth side that has impressed so far this season.
The hosts produced a stylish display to maintain their perfect record against their
