Erling Haaland started his season on the hats. In 11 games played all competitions with Manchester City, the Norwegian striker already displays 12 goals and 2 assists.

With his double against Burnley (5-1) this Saturday in the Premier League, the Scandinavian scorer still marked the history of the Citizen club. Now, he is among the ten best scorers in the history of Skyblues with 133 achievements in 153 games since his arrival in the summer of 2022.

Haaland settles among the legends of City

The “Cyborg” points to ninth place, behind Sergio Agüero (260), Erik Brook (177), Tommy Johnson (166), Colin Bell (153), Billy Meredith (152), Joe Hayes (152), Francis Lee (148) and Tommy Browell (139). But the latter could quickly be exceeded, Haaland being only six units of his total, ahead of Billy Gillespie and Fred Tilson, blocked at 132 goals.

Current leader in the first league scorer ranking with 8 achievements, the number 9 of City also occupies third place in the best scorers of the five major European championships (9 goals).
It is behind Harry Kane (13) and Kylian Mbappé (10). And the season is just beginning.
