EPL: Haaland Scores 100th Goal, Ties Cristiano Ronaldo’s Record

Erling Haaland hit another milestone in his stellar career by scoring his 100th goal for Manchester City during their 2-2 Premier League draw against Arsenal.

The Norwegian striker, making his 105th appearance and 100th start for the club, reached the century mark just over two years after joining City. Haaland’s landmark goal came in the ninth minute, latching onto a precise through ball from Savinho and calmly finishing.

At just 24 years old, Haaland’s career tally now stands at 235 club goals across Molde, Red Bull Salzburg, Borussia Dortmund, and City, along with 32 goals for Norway.

His 100th City goal also means he ties Cristiano Ronaldo’s record for the fewest games needed to reach 100 goals for a team in Europe’s top five leagues.
