Manchester City’s Haaland Breaks Goal-Scoring Record in Epic WinManchester City’s Haaland Breaks Goal-Scoring Record in Epic Win Manchester City’s Erling Haaland etched his name into the history books on Saturday, shattering a longstanding goal-scoring record in the team’s emphatic 4-1 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion. Haaland, who joined City from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, has had an extraordinary start to his Premier League career. In just 13 appearances, the Norwegian forward has netted a phenomenal 20 goals, surpassing Sergio Aguero’s record of 19 goals in a single season for the club. The 22-year-old broke the record in the 72nd minute of the match, tapping in from close range to put City 3-0 ahead. The goal sparked wild celebrations among the Etihad faithful, who witnessed a truly historic moment. Haaland’s performance on the day was simply breathtaking. He was a constant threat to the Brighton defense, scoring twice and assisting once. His other goal came in the 22nd minute, when he latched onto a through ball from Kevin De Bruyne and fired a powerful shot into the bottom corner. The victory extends City’s unbeaten start to the Premier League season to 11 games and puts them firmly at the top of the table. Haaland’s goalscoring exploits have been a major factor in their success, and he is now widely regarded as one of the best strikers in the world. Manager Pep Guardiola heaped praise on Haaland after the match, saying: “He’s an incredible player. He’s so young and still has a lot to learn, but he has a unique talent for scoring goals. He’s a great asset to our team.” However, Haaland remained humble despite his record-breaking performance. “It feels good, but I can’t do it without the team,” he said. “We played very well today and created a lot of chances. I’m just happy to help the team win.” Manchester City’s next match is a Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday. Haaland will face his former club for the first time since his move to England, and he will be eager to continue his remarkable goal-scoring form.
