Haaland nets 100th City goal; ties Ronaldo record

Leagues

Erling Haaland equalled Cristiano Ronaldo‘s record as the fastest man to score 100 goals for a European club, reaching his centenary for Manchester City in Sunday’s Premier League match against Arsenal.

The Norway international’s strike at the Etihad Stadium put him at 100 goals in 105 appearances for City.

In 2011, Ronaldo scored his 100th goal for Real Madrid, also in his 105th match.

In 2024 Kevin De Bruyne became the 18th Manchester City player to reach 100 goals, achieving the accolade in his 372nd appearance for the club.

Haaland had already broken the record for most goals through four games of the Premier League season with nine, including two hat tricks.

That prolific start meant he went into Wednesday’s Champions League game at home to Inter Milan on 99 goals from 103 games and with a chance to break Ronaldo’s record.

But despite having a couple of first-half chances, the 24-year-old was left frustrated in a goalless draw.
