The Norwegian striker made his name in English club history in his first season with the team.

Erling Haaland only joined Manchester City last summer but has been a very important part of the reigning English champions. Moreover, the football player is already making his name in the history of the club.

Recall that in the second match of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League against the German RB Leipzig, the Norwegian striker scored a penta-trick and helped his club defeat the opponent with a score of 7:0.

So, the 22-year-old striker has already scored 39 goals for Manchester City in the 2022/23 season, and this is a new club record.

According to the journalist Ben Jacobs, Haaland broke the record of Tommy Johnson, the previous record holder for the most goals scored by a Manchester City player in a season. The victory lasted 94 years, since it was established in 1928/29, and equaled 38 goals scored for the “citizens”.

At the same time, the 2022/23 season for the Norwegian is far from over, and therefore the Norwegian has every chance to increase his record.
