With the goal, he has now equalled Cristiano Ronaldo for a unique record by becoming the joint-fastest man to score 100 goals for a European club. The Norwegian goal-scoring machine attained the feat in 105 appearances, same as that of the Portuguese legend.
However, the striker's goal in the first 10 minutes was his only vital contribution throughout the match, with him recording the least amount of touches (21) for any outfield player who managed to play the entire course of 90 minutes during Manchester City Vs Arsenal fixture.
Here's A Breakdown Of Erling Haaland's 100 Goals For Manchester City
The 23-year-old is a gifted athlete who stands at 6ft 4in tall, and his surreal aerial ability makes him one of the most acrobatic players in the final third in modern day football.
Out of his 100 goals for Manchester City, the Norwegian scored 73 with his dominant foot (left), 14 from his right foot, 12 from his head, and 1 came from the 'other' category, which refers to either shoulder, thigh, chest, or even back (mostly seen in cases of a deflected goal).
The Premier League is his favourite tournament, as he has scored 73 goals in the English league, 18 in the UEFA Champions League, 8 in the FA Cup, and 1 in the EFL/Carabao Cup.
