Erling Haaland scores his 100th Manchester City goal, equalling the record set by Cristiano Ronaldo as the fastest to reach that milestone this century.

Erling Haaland has scored his 100th Manchester City goal, equalling the record for the quickest time to reach that milestone in Europe's major leagues this century.

It has taken the Norwegian goalscoring extraordinaire just 105 matches to reach a century of goals for the Citizens, matching the previous record set by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo also only took 105 matches to rack up 100 Real Madrid goals, finally hitting the century mark in 2011.

No other striker has come close to matching that record, with Luis Suarez the next fastest, having taken 120 matches to hit 100 goals at Barcelona.

It is also Haaland's 10th Premier League goal of the season after just five matches, double the tally of Luis Diaz, who sits second behind him in the scoring charts.

Haaland sets yet another goalscoring record

In what is becoming an almost weekly occurrence, another record has come Haaland's way.

The Norwegian's double against Brentford last weekend took him to nine goals and saw him break Wayne Rooney's record for the most goals scored after four league matches.

Showing he is human though, he was unable to add a third on that occasion, which would have seen him record three back-to-back hat tricks - something never achieved in the modern era.

Haaland's 52 goals across all competitions in the 2022-23 season was the most ever scored by a Premier League player, and the 36 he managed in the league that season was also the most by a debutant.

A breakdown of Haaland's City century

The 100th goal netted by Haaland in City blue, was his 73rd in the Premier League, in just his 71st appearance, where he looks set to finish top scorer for a third straight season.

In the Champions League, the 24-year-old has been equally imperious, finishing as top scorer twice already in his career.

The second of those came in his debut season at City, which ended in European glory, as Haaland netted 12 goals in 11 games on the way to lifting the trophy in Istanbul.

Despite only managing six in last season's competition, the striker has still managed a superb 18 goals in 21 matches during his City career, but he was kept out by a stubborn Inter Milan defence last week.

Haaland is rested most often in domestic cup matches, but his FA Cup record is still something to marvel at, with eight goals in seven appearances.

Pep Guardiola has only used Haaland twice in the EFL Cup since he arrived, but he has still managed to find the net, in a home win over Liverpool back in 2022.
