Erling Haaland reached the 100-goal mark for Manchester City in his 105th appearance for the club. It is a staggering record that perfectly encapsulates the devastating weapon that is Erling Haaland’s goal-scoring. The fact that Haaland scored his 100th goal at the Etihad Stadium in front of a raucous Manchester City home crowd made the moment a little bit more special. To put Erling Haaland’s goal-scoring record with Manchester City in perspective, he equalled Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of reaching 100 goals in 105 appearances for Real Madrid.

Erling Haaland also showed that he is Manchester City through and through during yesterday’s match.
What stood out from the early stages of yesterday’s game was how determined Erling Haaland was to make an impact. He signalled his intent early when he crashed into William Saliba in an early challenge for a header. Haaland repeated the dose at the end of the game when he stormed through Thomas Partey after John Stones late equaliser.

City’s star striker was also involved in a heated moment at the final whistle. After telling Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta to stay humble he was involved in a heated discussion with Gabriel Jesus. Haaland showed he wasn’t going to take anything from Arsenal at the final whistle nor throughout the 90 minutes of play. It was clear from the opening minutes of the game that Haaland wasn’t going to let Arsenal’s defence shackle him like they did last season.
There is no doubt that Erling Haaland is Manchester City through and through. That was evident when he scored his 100th goal for the club and how he played yesterday.
“Stay humble eh” 🔥
