Erling Haaland equalised Cristiano Ronaldo’s record with his 100th goal in his 105th appearance for Manchester City (X)
His goal against Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal today took his overall tally of goals for City to a mind-boggling 100 in just 105 appearances, as he drew level with another legendary scorer of the game: Cristiano Ronaldo.
Erling Haaland now stands toe-to-toe with footballing greatness as the Manchester City striker reached another milestone today with his goal against Arsenal, drawing level with none other than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Etihad has become Haaland’s stomping grounds, as the phenom has already registered 70 goal involvements in just 51 games since signing for the defending champions.
Haaland has found himself an outstanding run of form for the club, having registered nine goals in his opening four Premier League matches this season, including back-to-back hat-tricks in the process.
His nine goals also broke the great Wayne Rooney’s record of eight goals in Manchester United’s first four matches of 2011/12, to set a Premier League record for most goals scored in a team’s first four matches of a Premier League season.
His goal against Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal in the 9th minute of the game today took his overall tally of goals for City to a mind-boggling 100 in just 105 appearances, as he drew level with another legendary scorer of the game: Cristiano Ronaldo.
Former Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo set his record not at Old Trafford, but rather for “Los Blancos” Real Madrid, scoring a century of goals in just 105 appearance for the club.
The Portuguese great would go on to cement himself as the greatest goalscorer ever in the history of the decorated club, ending his career so far with Real Madrid having netted 451 times in 438 competitive appearances.
With how prolific young Haaland has been over his short tenure so far at Manchester City, one can’t put it past the Norwegian to progress onwards to outshine the likes of the best in the business soon, if all pans out in his favour.
