The City striker scored his first goal in the Premier League, since his goal during the club's 5-1 defeat in Arsenal on February 2, opening the scoring against Spurs in northern London on Wednesday. Haaland scored his return from injury with a goal in the 12th minute to give his team the advantage.
With this goal at the Tottenham Hotpur stadium, the Norwegian became only the second player in the history of the Premier League after that of the Legend of Manchester United Ruud Van Nistelrooy to score 20 or more goals in each of his first three seasons in the division. The attacker now has 20 goals and three assists in 26 championship appearances this season.

Haaland also equaled the record for the legend of Kane Spurs by scoring 10 or more goals at home and 10 goals or more in matches outside during three consecutive first League campaigns.
The Cityzens approached the break with a goal in advance. They hope to keep this advantage and reconnect with the victory after the defeat in Liverpool this weekend. The reigning champions will be back in action on Saturday, while they will face Plymouth Argyle in a match of the fifth round of the FA Cup.
