The Manchester City striker scored twice against Brentford on Saturday, taking his tally to nine goals in four Premier League games in 2024/25.
Another Monday morning, another update on Erling Haaland’s insatiable appetite for goal-scoring records.
The Manchester City forward scored his eighth and ninth goals of the Premier League season on Saturday, narrowly missing out on a third consecutive hat-trick. Haaland has began the new campaign in imperious form and he’s now on the brink of breaking yet another record.
The big Norwegian has now scored 99 goals in 103 games since joining City in the summer of 2022. If he scores in his next game for the club he will beat the record for the fastest century of goals for any team.
The current holder of that record is Cristiano Ronaldo, who reached 100 Real Madrid goals in just 105 matches. Haaland has the chance to beat CR7′s record when City take on Inter Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday. Failing that, he can equal it when Manchester City welcome Arsenal to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
Understandably, City boss Pep Guardiola was full of praise for Haaland after Saturday’s brace against Bretford. Haaland had suffered the loss of a family friend earlier in the week and was initially a doubt for the match.
Guardiola explained: “Erling in the space is so difficult to control. It was a tough week for him. In the locker room we try to take care of everyone. If someone has problems we stay close. He is doing what he has been doing for many years perfectly.”

If Ronaldo is not as good as u ppu claim, so y have his name on your lips from Monday to Sunday? Secondly, the topic here is talking on the FASTEST CENTURY OF GOALS which Ronaldo holds for now, telling u Messi has never and will never have the opportunity again to do.... And some of u r still calling Messi. Oh! U want FIFA as usual to favor him again just like d ballon'dior and others they give him for free. Note If Messi is taking out of favors into the criticism Ronaldo faces and still stay strong, Messi will run MAD... NO JOKES

as long as u can score goals you can compete with Ronaldo, but to compete with Messi you need to go beyond scoring goals, that's why Lionel Messi is a one in a lifetime player while Ronaldo is just a normal scorer 💯💯

I always stick to my grandparents says "Records are made everyday" ● So every Record is made and will be broken anytime. because we all never see God who always made everythings possible. we never knows the future, we don't know tomorrow. ● How if God have decided that Norway will win 2026 world cup? is that not a Record made by Norway? ● and how if Rodri win Ballon dor?, is not another Record for a city player to win it? ● and how if Haaland keeps scoring goals in every game? is not another Record. ● and how if Real Madrid signed Jackson from Chelsea?, is that a dream or reality?
