🚨 Haaland overtakes Ronaldo and fires Man City to the top | OneFootball

He is insatiable.

This Saturday, Manchester City hosted West Ham as part of the 17th day of the Premier League.

A match that was quickly unlocked by the inevitable Erling Haaland, who scored in the fifth minute of play, then added a second goal in the 69th minute.

These were his 10th and 11th career goals against the Hammers. Only against Leipzig has the Norwegian found the net more often (12)!

But that's not all! Thanks to these goals, he now has 104 goals in the Premier League, thus surpassing... Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese reached 103 goals in 236 matches, while it took only... 114 for Erling Haaland, which is 122 fewer than the former Manchester United player.

As a reminder, Erling Haaland now has 38 goals in 28 matches across all competitions this season, in addition to becoming the fastest player to reach 100 goals in the Premier League.

With his 19 goals in the league this season, he is also the player who has scored the most goals in the Premier League before Christmas, tied with Andy Cole (1993-94), Kevin Phillips (1999-00), and Luis Suarez (2013-14).

Also providing a decisive assist for Tijjani Reijnders, the Norwegian helped his team secure a 3-0 victory.

Manchester City thus temporarily takes the lead in the Premier League while awaiting Arsenal's match against Everton this Saturday evening!
