Erling Haaland scores his 100th goal for Manchester City and equals Cristiano Ronaldo's record


Erling Haaland has 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 2-2 Premier League draw with Arsenal.

The Norway international's ninth-minute goal at the Etihad Stadium, racing between Gabriel Magalhães and William Saliba before firing low past David Raya, took him to 100 goals in 105 appearances for City.

Arsenal held on to their lead deep into second-half stoppage time before John Stones scored an equaliser to salvage a point for the reigning Premier League champions.

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

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

Haaland had already broken the record for most goals in four Premier League games this 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 in 103 games and with the chance to break Ronaldo's record.

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