The Norwegian marksman was on hand to score for the third opening weekend of a Premier League campaign in a row as he found the back of the net against the Blues at Stamford Bridge.
The encounter was his 100th as a Citizen and he celebrated the landmark occasion by scoring his 91st goal for the club.
After the match, his manager equated his goalscoring prowess to that of the likes of the Ballon d'Or-winning duo of Messi and Ronaldo.
"He has the numbers for Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who controlled the last decade, 15 years, absolutely everything. In terms of numbers, it is that level," the six-time English league-winning manager said, as per Goal.
"So, I don't know how he does it, but in 100 games scoring 91 goals is something in the Premier League, in this country, is unbelievable.
"I had a feeling that he feels better than last season at this stage. After travel last season, he felt a bit 'mmm-mmm' [so-so], or felt he was tired. This season, I think for the Euros, unfortunately Norway was not there, there was more rest and, yeah, he feels good.

"The goal was magnificent. His contribution is in many things. He had two or three chances and always I had the feeling there is a gap to improve as a football player."
