The nine remarkable statistics that make Erling Haaland the most feared striker ever

City striker has now scored nine goals in four Premier League games and has more goals in the competition than seven clubs

Erling Haaland’s remarkable scoring spree continued on Saturday with both goals in Manchester City’s 2-1 win over Brentford, taking his club tally to 99 in 103 appearances in all competitions.
The Norway striker was a doubt ahead of the match following the death of a family friend but started at the Etihad and was soon among the goals to turn the game around, underlining what a sheer force of nature he is.
Haaland is also on the cusp of another record: the quickest player ever to score 100 goals for a club. He has one more match to take the record outright on 104 appearances, or another to equal Cristiano Ronaldo’s 100 in 105 appearances for Real Madrid.
The statistics make for incredible reading:
City take on Inter Milan on Wednesday before facing Arsenal at the Etihad next Sunday.
