Haaland is about to reach a historic milestone in the Premier League

Erling Haaland maintains his lethal scoring streak with a goal versus Liverpool, increasing his Premier League total to 99 and closing in on the significant 100-goal milestone.

Erling Haaland He further cements his status as one of the top “goal-scoring machines” in world football by shining in Manchester City’s 3-0 victory over Liverpool at Etihad. With the opening goal, the Norwegian striker raised his Premier League goal count to 99, just one goal shy of reaching 100 in England’s top flight.

The fierce battle between these two historic English rivals started with intense tension from the very first minutes. Liverpool came out determined, but their attack couldn’t break through Manchester City’s disciplined defense. The home side patiently waited for their chance and didn’t have to wait long to witness a familiar moment – Erling Haaland making an impact.

From a precise cross, Haaland positioned himself smartly and rose high to head the ball past goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, giving Man City the lead. That goal not only broke the deadlock for Pep Guardiola’s team but also marked an important milestone in Haaland’s remarkable Premier League scoring journey.

Statistics show that this is Haaland’s 31st goal in the 2025/26 season across club and international matches. In the Premier League alone, he has netted 14 goals. Since joining Etihad in summer 2022, Haaland has never let his scoring form dip, and now he is just one goal away from the 100-goal mark.

Beyond scoring, Haaland has also demonstrated improvement in his all-around play under Pep Guardiola’s management. The Norwegian striker moves with agility, participates more in combination plays, and creates space for teammates like Phil Foden and Doku to exploit.

After the match, Man City fans collectively praised Haaland, while the British media used familiar superlatives: “Unstoppable.” Gary Neville commented on Sky Sports: “Haaland is rewriting the standards for goal-scoring in the Premier League. He is not just a striker but a phenomenon of the modern era.”

If he maintains his current form, Haaland is very likely to reach 100 Premier League goals in Man City’s next game, and with his fearsome efficiency, no one doubts he will break many more records wearing the Manchester blue shirt.
