Erling Haaland Matches Ronaldo’s Stunning Record as He Scores for Man City against Arsenal
The Norwegian superstriker has equalled Cristiano Ronaldo’s record by reaching 100 goals in the top five European leagues in just 105 matches. Haaland achieved this impressive feat after scoring the opening goal in Manchester City’s Premier League clash with Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium.
Haaland received a brilliant pass from Savannah before finishing expertly past Arsenal’s goalkeeper, demonstrating his clinical finishing skills in front of goal. The 22-year-old striker now has 100 goals to his name in top-flight football, matching a record set by the iconic Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who achieved the feat while playing for Real Madrid in 2014.
"It’s an incredible achievement from Haaland, and one that highlights his exceptional goalscoring ability," former Premier League striker, and current pundit, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, told 90min. "He has consistently shown his quality with his goals, and reaching 100 goals in under 105 matches is truly impressive."
Haaland has made a flying start to the new Premier League campaign, scoring five goals in just four matches. He has already formed a potent striking partnership with Julian Alvarez, and the duo are starting to look like an unstoppable force.
The feat also highlights the incredible journey of Haaland, who began his career in Bryne, Norway, and then moved to Molde before joining Red Bull Salzburg in Austria. After an impressive spell in Salzburg, Haaland transferred to Borussia Dortmund before moving to Manchester City, where he has continued his impressive form.
Haaland’s record-breaking goal sends a strong message to football fans around the world. His incredible ability to finish chances and score goals from almost anywhere on the pitch has made him one of the most feared strikers in the world.
Now that Haaland has equaled Ronaldo’s record, it will be interesting to see how he continues his career and whether he will continue to break records. Regardless, one thing is clear: Erling Haaland is a special talent that fans around the world love watching.
