The goal at Anfield enabled Erling Haaland to extend his record to scoring in 23 of 24 Premier League venues, significantly contributing to Man City's thrilling turnaround versus Liverpool.
Erling Haaland continued to mark an impressive milestone in his Premier League career by scoring in 23 out of the 24 stadiums he has played at. Anfield — Liverpool’s famously tough fortress — became the latest venue conquered by the Norwegian striker, demonstrating his fearsome scoring efficiency across England.
The recent goal against Liverpool was not just a statistical achievement; it directly helped Manchester City complete a dramatic comeback right at Anfield. After falling behind, Haaland stepped up at the perfect moment with both an assist and a goal to help the visitors overcome one of the toughest challenges of the season. This goal also helped him maintain his consistent scoring form at major venues.
Only Sunderland’s Stadium of Light remains the sole Premier League ground where Haaland has yet to score. Since joining Man City in 2022, the striker born in 2000 has netted over 100 goals in just over 120 appearances in England’s top flight, turning every defense into his familiar “victims.”
In the Premier League Round 25 showdown, Liverpool started energetically and created multiple threats towards Man City's goal. In the 74th minute, Dominik Szoboszlai’s free-kick hit the post and went in, putting the home team ahead amidst an erupting Anfield crowd. The momentum was clearly in Liverpool’s favor at that point.
However, the reigning champions showed their composure at the crucial moment. Haaland delivered a headed assist for Bernardo Silva to equalize, then calmly converted a penalty in stoppage time to seal a 2-1 victory for Man City. This result not only secured three points for Pep Guardiola’s side but also kept them in close pursuit of the league leaders, while Haaland once again proved his class in big matches.
