Rio Ferdinand warns 'ominous' Man City are turning the Premier League into a 'one horse race'

Daily Mail  

Rio Ferdinand has said that Manchester City's unstoppable form has threatened to turn the Premier League into a one horse race. Erling Haaland doubled City's advantage after 16 minutes, becoming the first Premier League player to score in each of his first four appearances away from home. Rio Ferdinand has said that Man City have turned the Premier League into a 'one horse race' A Nathan Collins red card only worsened Bruno Lage's chances of staging a comeback at Molineux, and Phil Foden would put an end to the game by completing the rout on 69 minutes. Haaland's record-breaking start to the season has continued to earn him plaudits from all corners of the football world, and Ferdinand opined that the Norwegian striker could both break the Premier League goalscoring record, and put his name in contention for a Ballon d'Or if he can maintain his current form.
