Oscar Bobb has the enviable trait of being a fresh-faced youngster who can make the hard school of Premier League football look very easy.
Not at all times. The 20-year-old Norway winger occasionally appeared to struggle with the physical nature of Manchester City’s 1-0 Premier League win over Brentford.
However, a delicious touch in a crowded penalty area set him up for a shot that Ben Mee remarkably cleared off the line before halftime. It was the latest demonstration of the technical ability that saw Bobb burst into the wider consciousness with an improbably cool stoppage-time winner at Newcastle United in January.
Still, when it comes to the hard currency of sticking the ball in the net, Bobb knows there is one man who remains a cut above.
“I don’t think there’s anyone better one-on-one with the keeper in the world,” he told reporters after Erling Haaland settled a tense encounter in the 71st minute, surging clear after Kristoffer Ajer lost his footing to slot past the otherwise inspired Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken.
“It’s not easy. Phil [Foden] unfortunately missed his one at the end. It’s not as easy as you think,” Bobb continued.
Bobb had made way for Jeremy Doku by the time Haaland notched the winner and his 17th Premier League goal of the season, but there was a wholesome moment when the little-and-large duo shared a warm embrace on the field after the final whistle.
Haaland’s 2022 arrival in Manchester from Borussia Dortmund was much-trumpeted and he lived up to the considerable hype, plundering 52 goals across all competitions as Pep Guardiola’s side swept to a treble.
Three years earlier, aged just 16, Bobb slipped into the north west of England under the radar from Valarenga in his native Oslo.

Now Haaland and Bobb are club and international team-mates, rubbing shoulders as City find themselves in their customary position of competing for trophies on all fronts as spring approaches.
“What he’s achieved is crazy, right?” Bobb said. “He’s only three years older than me, same country, everything. Yes, he’s an inspiration.”
An inspiration and, Bobb confirms, a close friend.
“Yes, I think it’s natural. We’re pretty close in age and from the same place. He helps me a lot.”
Over recent weeks, Haaland himself has arguably needed an arm around his hulking shoulders.
Despite his crucial contribution against Brentford coming 10 days on from a match-winning brace versus Everton, he endured a nightmare outing in front of goal against Chelsea and has generally been short of top form since returning from two months out with a foot injury.
After the match, Guardiola launched a staunch defence of a player who also recently suffered a family bereavement.
“When I was young, a friend of mine told me top scorers, strikers that score a lot of goals, don’t criticise him, because he will shut your mouth, that’s for sure,” the City manager said. “Sooner or later, always he’s there.
“He comes [back] from two months [out], he had an incredibly tough week last week, he lost his grandmother and it’s not easy for any human being. Of course, he’s not in his best shape, but it’s normal [after], two months.”

Bobb agrees that doubting Haaland is ultimately a fool’s errand.
“Everyone knows how good of a finisher is. As long as he gets in those situations, whether he misses or scores, he’s such a clinical finisher,” he said.
“If he misses a few in one game it’s not like he’s going to start missing all his chances. So there’s no real worries. I mean, when you have the quality he has, it is just about getting to the right spots.”
Despite dropping points against Chelsea, City once again find themselves in a useful spot, nestled between Liverpool and Arsenal — a point off the top in a three-horse title race.
“When was it? Two, three years ago and we won by one point when Gundo [Ilkay Gunodgan] scored?” Bobb asked rhetorically, underlining that City’s newest Premier League starts is part of the furniture in east Manchester.
“I mean, when you look at it like that, every point could be a title-deciding point. These 1-0 wins are good.”
